I am highly impressed with the quality of ReaddleDocs. The developers of ReaddleDocs have covered almost all possible ways of leaveraging iPhone’s capabilities to be used as a complete document and file management device. Since Apple opened the gates for iPhone’s enterprise capabilities, Business apps have flooded the app store. ReaddleDocs surely shines amongst all in providing a very satisfactory experience in document and file management.

ReaddleDocs UI is very intuitive. You can choose to view available Documents, go online using Wi-Fi or ReaddleDocs account, use in-line web browser to download documents from web, view recent documents and configure settings.

Readdle offers you 512MB of free storage on their web storage service http://readdle.com/register/appstore which can be used to upload your documents with an easy to use interface (multiple uploading possible) and then acceses through ReaddleDocs app on your iPhone/iPod touch anywhere. The app also supports WebDAV protocol to share data with computers via Wi-Fi. You can also configure MobileMe iDisk and Other Servers too.

The in-line web browser is a very useful feature as you can browse for documents and download (books) without leaving the app. After you configure your Readdle account you can use your uniqe email address to forward attachments and view using ReaddleDocs app.
