For those of you who like to access your docs, pdfs, and pics on the go, life just got a little more wired. As of yesterday, there is a new Dropbox app for the iPhone. And I have to say, having access to files on three of my computers (work, home, laptop) was already a nice taste of cyberbliss, but the ability to be in conversation with someone at a research conference, remember that you have a document or file on that in your Dropbox account, and e-mail a link to it on the spot, that is quite worth it. Not to mention all the other happy file streaming possibilities for your music, quicktime podcasts, etc. etc. Also, it does have most forms of file support including MS Word documents, pdfs, and a score of others. If you absolutely have to have a snapshot of something, you can upload pics to your dropbox account straight from the phone without, I believe, using local memory on the phone. For a more technical CNET review of the app, gohere.

For those of you unfamiliar with Dropbox, it is a computer syncing service (free::up to 5 GB; paid::up to 100GB) that allows you cross-platform file sharing (do you have a mac, a PC, and Linux and would like to share files easily? This is one option for you). It also is nice for collaboration among authors, editors, etc.
