SoonR Gets Another Round of Funding

If I wasn’t a blogger, I would very quickly try to become a Product Evangelist for SoonR. I seriously LOVE this company. The product works nearly flawlessly (The only current flaw is the inability to download .sis files properly) and they’re adding new features regularly.

SoonR is an application that runs on your desktop computer that gives you access to your stuff from any other internet connected DEVICE. Device is the important word here. With SoonR, I can not only download files to my phone, but I can also download them to my work computer, or at a buddy’s house, or wherever. Yes, they even have an iPhone interface.

They also interface with Microsoft Outlook, Skype, and Google’s Desktop Search applications. That means, if I have Outlook open on my desktop (which I always do) I can read my email, respond to it, and even email files to people, all on my N95. I can also use SoonR to easily share large files with friends. With a few clicks, I can set my entire Video collection to be shared with a few friends, so that they can download them whenever they want, directly from my machine, and it’s secure. I can also easily revoke that permission easily.

Today they’re announcing that they’ve just received a $15.5 investment from Cisco, Intel Capital, and Clearsone Venture Partners. The company has only been around for about 2 years. SoonR’s desktop agent is compatible with Windows and Mac, so you can give it ago. Best of all, the service is free.
