Hands High Software has developed a $29.95 utility called WiFile that allows PalmOS users with wireless network support to access files on Windows, MacOS, and Samba-compatible file servers. WiFile makes use of the SMB/CIFS protocols to browse and manipulate shared directories.
This is a nifty little utility that apparently began life as SmbMate. SmbMate was mentioned by PalmInfocenter back in September 2003, was acquired by Hands High sometime between then and March, and had its name changed to WiFile.
I’m sure WiFile would be useful to users of the palmOne Tungsten C, or the Sony Clie UX50, TH55, or TJ37 PDAs, all of which have built-in WiFi. Other PalmOS PDAs with wireless capabilities could conceivably use this software as well, but are not as likely to be used in a fashion where sharing files from the network would be a tremendous advantage.
