The new app is available on Android phones

Uk businesses can now benefit from a free Android-based mobile application launched today by T-Mobile that lets workers access images and documents on the move.

ShareAnywhere was designed after a focus group meeting between T-Mobile and several of its small business customers to find out what applications would help improve their working lives.

It allows anyone with a device that supports the Android platform to access images or presentations stored on a central repository, which can be updated by colleagues in the office through the shareAnywhere web site.

Mobile workers are then able to synchronise their phones to this database to ensure they are working from the most up-to-date and relevant images or documents when away from the office.

One company to be involved in the focus group and subsequently start using the app is online tailoring company A Suit That Fits.com.

"At the initial focus group with T-Mobile ourselves and other businesses talked about what sort of tools we would really benefit our companies and this application was the outcome," said co-founder of the firm, Warrant Bennett.

"It's really useful for us as it gives staff access to the latest images on the Android G1 or G2 phones and allows them to show potential customers our products, such as best selling suits, or the Nepalese tailors we work with, to illustrate what we can offer."

He added that it's far more efficient for sales staff to show the people products through the app, instead of having to load up the web site each time.
