Posted on September 1, 2008 at 5:21 am

Carrying a mobile office with you is no longer an unimaginable idea. With the invention of PDA’s, smartphones, ultramobile computers, and just a regular cell phone with Internet access, you can easily carry some of your favorite documents with you. Connecting to the Internet via WiFi or your wireless carrier can turn almost every situation into a work opportunity.

Search the Internet for a few minutes and you’ll come across thousands of applications that will give you a chance to access a home or office computer while traveling. If you are a mobile person that likes to travel around extremely light, then you’ll want an application that lets you download a file directly to your cell phone.

Beam It Up Scotty is just the application you need for sending a file to your mobile device. As long as you have an Internet connection and text messaging feature for your cell phone or mobile device, then you’ll be able to download a file. One of the best features of using this service is that there’s no complicated setup process. It’s very straightforward and easy to use. Within a few short minutes, a file will be sent directly to your device.

In order to get started, upload your desired file to the Beam It Up Scotty homepage. The file types that can be downloaded include music, videos, photos, or virtually any other file. Most iPhone users will enjoy using this service because their device has a large display. Viewing a downloaded document or photo can be done comfortably on the iPhone’s display screen. Video and audio files will be limited to 5 minutes of playing time. This will only give you a snippet of multimedia fun, instead of its entire length.

The entire process for using the Beam It Up Scotty involves three easy steps. Upload your file by browsing all available files on your computer, select a compression type, and then enter your cell phone number. You’ll receive a text message with a URL link to download the sent file. Depending on the type data connection on your cell phone or mobile device, it will take a few minutes to download and open the file.

Beam It Up Scotty is a useful tool for accessing your documents while on the go. Instead of carrying a notebook computer with you everywhere, just use your cell phone or mobile device to download an important file. The service is completely free to use, but you are still responsible for any charges associated with your cell phone carrier. Beam It Up Scotty is definitely a simple service with great potential.
