"Fast. Simple. Intuitive.

Full of one-of-a-kind features like instantaneous backup of mobile phone pictures, speedy catalog recovery and other completely worry-free photo features that only Sharpcast delivers, Sharpcast Photos equals simplicity...As soon as you put your pictures into Sharpcast Photos on your desktop, you can start seeing your entire collection from any other computer or your mobile phone. You can manage and edit your photos as if they were stored right there � without having to leave your home computer turned on. And with unprecedented speed and the same, rich familiar view you deserve."
Having my photos everywhere, on every device, is something that greatly appeals to me. I've managed to achieve that for my desktop PCs, laptop PCs, and Xbox (as an extender) by using Foldershare but the mobile devices have always been left out of the equation. This looks like it might be a solution to that problem, and have some interesting features (photo backup) as a side-effect. It's currently in a closed beta, but should be debuting to the public soon. Anyone in on the beta and can talk about it?

I've just started using Avvenu, which (I think) does a similar job - you just go to share.avvenu.com on a mobile web browser, and you can see the hard disks (and CD-DVD drives) on previously-configured desk tops. This allows you to access more than just picture files, and might be an alternative. And it's free, which is great these days!
