its certainly been rumored, but thats all it is.

I recommend checking out iStorage, which can already access your iDisk as well as upload and download to FTP servers and download from the web. Quite a nifty utility, which also lets you store, view, edit and create files. Just about the only thing missing is the ability to attach files from iStorage to an outgoing e-mail so you can share files via mail.

I agree, Box.net is actually a pretty nice service.

For those of you that have used, or that understand Box.net, what type of files are you storing or can you store that are useful on the iPhone. Obviously photo storage upload/download is compatible and useful, but a Powerpoint presentation is not. So, what type of files are you guys actually storing on box.net ? Thankyou.

edit: didnt see the lite version bit...sorry!

Just about the only thing missing is the ability to attach files from iStorage tao an outgoing e-mail so you can share files via mail.

That will do a future version of iStorage. 1.0.5 wil be out soon with very few bugs.
