A company called iStartApp is working on a new app called FileXChange that will make file transfer between different platforms easy. You may be thinking that transferring files with Bluetooth already does the job, but that may not be good enough at least until the new specification of Bluetooth is widely adopted, allowing for faster speeds. In the meantime, FileXChange wants to fill this gap, enabling users to rely on Wi-Fi for moving large files from one device to the other.
It is said that pretty much any file type will be supported, whether it’s an image, document, video… you name it. You will either use Bluetooth or, to get some decent speeds, Wi-Fi to beam stuff between the devices. Speaking of devices, in addition to phones – tablets and computers can also “participate” in the exchange.
Finally, additional options will allow for password-protected file transfers, emailing files and so on. In a nutshell, we may be easily talking about an app that should come preloaded with every mobile device out there. What do you think?

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.
