The secure online storage service Wuala is going for the iPhone users who demand secure mobile applications. Unlike some other file sharing apps, Wuala encrypts and decrypts files directly on the iPhone or iPod Touch, using client-side encryption. As a result, files you send to your Wuala account are so secure that even Wuala staff can’t access them, because the password never leaves the device. In that sense, I can see it being used by organizations such as Wikileaks and their sources for sharing confidential documents.
Users can browse, share and view files on their iOS-powered device as well as open them with selected applications. Moreover, there’s the option to save select file types offline for later access when there’s no network connection around.
Wuala’s web service also allows/supports seamless automatic backup, sync and file encryption. Their iPhone app is available as a free download and the AppStore link is below.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
