Avvenu: Get to your files from anywhere

It seems like there is a new (legit) file sharing application popping up every week.  This week, it was Avvenu's turn.  Avvenu is a file sharing client that you download and setup on your personal computer (sorry, no Mac client yet).  You can setup multiple computers on one account.  Once setup, Avvenu lets you access your PC's file structure through just about any browser, and that's the kicker.  Avvenu's browser recognition picks up on what browser client you are using, and adjusts the interface to fit the client.  This means you can access your files on computers as well as Smartphones.  Like most startups in this space, they are also focusing on the ability to share your vast collection of photographs via the Avvenu service. 

I've tried the service out with my Treo 650, and can report that it is pretty slick, pretty fast, and pretty useful.  Photos are presented in thumbnail form, and when clicked on, you can access a larger version of the picture.

The downloaded client hints toward some sort of fee in the future, but for now the service is free.

It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game. The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
