Hands On: Top 10 Products At CTIA

You might have a months’ worth of email with you on your phone and if the file you need is an attachment to one of those emails you can find it easily enough, but all of your files and email are on your PC. If you’ve been using the excellent X1 desktop search, you can now take it with you on your iPhone – and search email, attachments and files remotely over a secure connection (although only on PCs, not Macs). Our search ran quickly, even with the busy wireless network at the event and found the files we were expecting.

X1’s file viewers let you view your file and even edit some formats locally if you have an app like Documents To Go; you can also forward them in email, but if you want a copy you can just mark the file as a favourite and X1 copies it to your iPhone so you have it even if you’re not online. The iPhone version will be available as soon as it gets through the App Store approval process; Android and BlackBerry versions will come later.
