PC Power Delivered To Your Phone Access to applications and files is PC Power on your phone. SoonR is the only service that enables standard mobile phones to use the applications on PCs in an optimized way. Desktop Search, Outlook, Skype, and the files on desktop computer(s) are made available anywhere you are and even when your computer is turned off. Any phone with data access becomes a smart phone

Installation

Open up your Web browser of choice and go to www.soonr.com (or www.soonr.com/mobile for some phones)

This is the screen you will first see when you access SoonR on your handset

After logging in, if you’re like me or Charlie, you’ll see this message if you haven’t received the text message to validate your account.

This is the home page after you get past the account verification screen.

Clicking on Desktop brings you to your list of folders made remotely accessible.

These next two are the navigation through my subfolders to the images I want to show for this demo. Note that the blue bar shows which folder your browsing in at any given time

Opening “Cellulars” brings me to all my images of junk I’ve sold on eBay and other images of phones I’ve found interesting. The default view is the thumbnail view for folders with images after the thumbnails have been generated. (this took awhile, but it actively creates them from your desktop in the background, give it a day and it should have all the thumbnails properly created)

Clicking on “List” view shows the folders contents like this.

Clicking on the file specified itself brings up a new page that looks like this with new options which include View, Share, Email, Get, and Monitor

Clicking on “Share” opens a page for you to send the file to another SoonR user with a message attached.

Clicking “View” opens a larger preview of the file in the “Slideshow” view. Notice the red navigation buttons for cycling through the image files. Clicking on the image itself will advance the slide to the next image. There are also options for changing the files name (Edit Title) and should you choose to share it with another member using the “Share” button from the previous menu, they can leave comments for it as well

At the bottom of this preview page, there are quick navigation keys to bring you back to various levels of browsing your files.

Clicking the “Monitor” button opens a page for tracking changes made to a file. If the file is moved from that location or modified in anyway, SoonR offers the ability to notify you via SMS (though I doubt this would work for those who haven’t even gotten the verification message like me)

Pressing the “Get” button prompts the browser to see the file as a download. This works properly with images of various sorts, MP3’s, and other miscellaneous files, but I found that if it has a hard time reading videos and .sis files. For those errors, I found that you can email the file to yourself and it will show up as an attachment.

Pressing the “Email” button brings up this screen to send it to an email of your choice. After attempting to do this over EDGE, I encountered error messages, but the file was still sent to its destination after a certain amount of time without fail. I imagine WLAN would have some better results. The best part is, you don’t send the email from your phone. The email is sent through SoonR’s servers from your own registered email address without you having to wait for the transfer. The file will be sent to the recipients email as an attachment.
