Dashwire Mirrors Your Mobile

Have you ever thought, “Man, it sure would be nice if I could access my phone’s content on my computer”? I haven’t. But if you have, Dashwire may be just the service you’ve been looking for.

Dashwire is a web application that synchronizes itself with your phone so that you can access your mobile’s content from your computer, whether it be photos, text messages, or contacts. With Dashwire you can send text messages from your computer, securely store anything you have saved on your phone, or even transfer favorites and an address from your computer to your phone. I understand the function of Dashwire, but I’m having trouble really grasping the point. I know what its like to live half of life on the computer and the other half on the phone, but not once have I encountered the need or desire to “access and share mobile experiences” via my computer. Isn’t the whole point to having a mobile device the fact that it can be used on the go? Then again, I rarely use my cell phone for anything more than calling people these days. Dashwire may prove to be extremely helpful to those whose phones function as PDAs or PocketPCs, especially with its being free, as automated mirroring is infinitely preferable to manual file transfers.

Dashwire is a product of Seattle-based Dashwire, Inc. for Windows Mobile 5.0 or 6.0 phones and is currently in closed beta testing. Request an invitation at dashwire.com.
