amassed lust

Every once in a while I see things that are really cool and recently one startup which has asked to remain unnamed promised me they were working on something really cool for the iPhone.

It is simply for the time being called “Project Aries” and it is a new file sharing service for the iPhone.

Other file sharing services for the iPhone exist but this one has a plethora of features that truly set it apart and has come an amazingly long way in only a matter of weeks.

They are currently working on two versions one of them simply requires you to fire up Safari and the other is an application that will be free on the iTunes store when applications finally go live.

I’ve obviously been testing the web version on my iPhone and the simplicity is one of my favorite aspects of the service.

The service has a free plan that offers 1gig of storage or you can upgrade to other plans that offer more storage and some premium features. The billing of the application is really cool because I don’t have to use a credit card but rather the monthly billing appears right on my at&t bill.

Of course this limits users to this new startups project to iPhones on the at&t network only (upgrading will be met with an error message on other carriers) but the at&t network has a great deal of users so I don’t see this being a major issue in the beginning.

I originally was going to sprinkle this post with some shots of it in action but the guys working on it have asked me to not do so just yet. They did promise me that when the time comes (very soon I am told) I can post a some pictures and show you what they’ve got and what makes it truly cool.
