Search's excellent adventure

X1 (www.x1.com) and SoonR (www.soonr.com) have collaborated on a software that will enable customers to use desktop search from any mobile device.

The two companies have partnered on the new service that will enable any file, e-mail, contact or event that has been indexed with X1 on the desktop to be reviewed, retrieved and forwarded from any mobile device with data access. This partnership provides SoonR customers with the ability to search information remotely. SoonR will leverage X1's software development kit to add the functionality to its core service, allowing the presentation of the X1 desktop search results on mobile phones and PDAs.

This integration enables mobile access to gigabytes of data on any PC hard drive, as well as the ability to search information using X1 Desktop Search solution, read and send e-mail, retrieve scheduled meetings, manage contacts and share files instantly for no additional cost over the basic data service fees of the mobile provider.
