Press Release

iGet Mobile 1.0 enables remote Mac access from iPhone, iPod Touch, Windows PCs, and more

"Everything on your Mac now fits in your pocket," with new software from Nakahara Informatics

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ITHACA, New York — November 13, 2007 — Nakahara Informatics, Inc. today announced the immediate availability of iGet Mobile™, a brand new product in the company's iGet line of remote access software.

iGet Mobile is a Mac application that allows users to easily and securely access the Mac's documents and files from an iPhone, iPod Touch, Windows PC, or other non-Mac device.

The original iGet, Nakahara's highly-acclaimed Mac file transfer tool, has always provided a secure way to access and manage files remotely, but it does require a Mac on both ends of the connection.

By contrast, iGet Mobile allows users to access their home or office Mac remotely when they don't have a Mac handy. It provides a lightweight web interface to the Mac, with special features geared toward users of the iPhone and iPod Touch.

"Since the very first day that the iPhone was released, we've been asked when we'll have a version of iGet that works with it," said CEO Christopher Martin. "People don't necessarily want to take their laptops with them as much as before, and yet they still want to be able to connect back to their Macs and access their documents, maybe for business reasons, or maybe just to find something to read while waiting at the dentist's office."

iGet Mobile lets users do that and more. It can not only browse the Mac remotely, but also perform on-the-fly document conversions that make many common Mac file types more compatible with mobile devices. This means that a 50MB high-resolution Photoshop image file can be reduced in size and converted to a standard image format, or that a rich-text RTFD document can be instantly converted to PDF format, before being viewed on an iPhone.

While designed with the iPhone specifically in mind, iGet Mobile allows users to access their Macs from "any decently web-capable device", Martin added.

iGet Mobile 1.0 is available immediately from the company's web site:

The software will run in full-featured demo mode, allowing users to try out all of its features before purchasing a license.

iGet Mobile was designed from the ground up using the latest Apple technologies, and it requires Mac OS X 10.5 or later. It will run on any Mac that supports this version of the OS.

Pricing and Availability

iGet Mobile 1.0 is available immediately from the company's web site, at www.nakahara-informatics.com. Regularly priced at $39, the software is currently available for the special introductory price of only $29, for a limited time.
