A new service called SoonR has been launced that lets you connect to your desktop PC via your mobile phone. SoonR connects your mobile phone to your Skype account, Outlook, and remote PCs. There’s no software to install on your phone but you must have a data plan. Once you install the small desktop component, you can access files, photos & documents stored on your computer remotely… even when your PC is off (for an extra charge). The basic account is free right now.

Skype 2.0 now includes video calling. Skype has been on the market for several years now but really hit a mainstream audience when it was purchased by eBay last year. On eBay you can now even call a buyer directly through Skype to ask questions etc. Online communications couldn’t be easier. Many people also use Skype to record conversations online for future use in a podcast - very useful for conducting interviews. Skype also includes the ability to call regular non-internet phones for a small fee. This is probably most useful for international calling.
