Soonr Beta for Mac OS X Now Available

Most cellphones nowadays are pieces of work that are good for just about anything (well, almost). Soonr is software which, in this vein, aims to make your mobile phone much more usable. It allows even bog-standard cellphones to connect to PCs via the web and access it remotely. You can take a gander at your files and search through them, check your e-mail, access your Outlook – and hey, you can even Skype while you’re at it! Very cool.

Even better, Basic Soonr accounts are completely free; while you’ll have to pay for premium accounts, by doing so you get to access your computers even if they’re off, and you also get data back-ups and very cheap international calling as well. Almost too good to be true, and well worth the extra money, in my opinion.

Today the company announced its release of a beta of its client for OS X. Terrific to see they aren’t neglecting the Mac faithful. I for one am pretty curious to see how running the family Mac from my relatively unsophisticated little cellphone might be like… I’ll give it a try and then tell you all what I think.
