Put Backpack In Your iPhone With Backpocket

If you are a fan of 37signals‘ Backpack collaborative software, having it on the go on your mobile might make things even easier. Mobrick (the team behind Common Totes and Shoplette) has just released Backpocket (iTunes), an iPhone app that “helps Backpack users access their Backpack accounts on the go with a consistent and intuitive interface that focuses on the features they use the most while on the go”.

Backpocket also lets you manage multiple Backpack accounts and supports offline editing so you can work offline and sync your changes later. You can also check out all the other extras for Backpack users.

If you’re unfamiliar with what Backpack is, in 37signals’ words: “Backpack is an easy intranet for your business. Store, share, discuss, and archive everything that’s essential for your team. Safe and secure.”

Backpocket is Mobrick’s first iPhone app and costs USD 1.99. The company is not related to 37signals but the Mobrick team are “huge fans and use 37signals’ products everyday”.

Check out an interview SGE did with Shannon Low from Mobrick back in March 2009, mostly focusing on another of Mobrick’s product, Zinerepublic, a product that facilitates the creation of crowdsourced magazines.

There’s already another 3rd-party Backpack iPhone client: Satchel (listed on 37signals’ Backpack Extras page). Another one, FrontPocket seems to have been discontinued. (Funnily, FrontPocket used to be known as Backpocket.)
