The iPhone app, Air Sharing, has come a long way. The app was one of my first transfer apps and I have stuck by it’s side ever since. If you have not tried Air Sharing Pro, I highly recommend it. Why? Allow me to tell you.

Avatron has recently released Version 2 of Air Sharing, now renamed Air Sharing Pro, with several new additions that make it once again, a competitive file transfer app in the app store.

A new feature in the pro version includes the ability to set up Air Sharing Pro to access remote volumes: MobileMe iDisk, FilesAnywhere, MyDisk.se and WebDAV servers. You can open, copy, move, paste and rename on remote volumes. And for those that aren’t sure what WebDAV is; WebDAV enables you to wirelessly access your files using a browser.

A wireless network isn’t necessary, however, Air Sharing Pro focuses on that by proving features like the ability auto-detect two or more users on the same Wi-Fi network. You can view your files, in all the formats the iPhone and iPod touch supports: .pdf, .xls, .doc, jpgs and others. You can also email and print files - Wirelessly!

Of course, that is not all you get buying the feature packed program. Here is a list of things you can do via their website:
