In response to repeated questions and rumors, Laplink Software confirmed that the next version of its popular mobility software will include support for Apple’s new iPhone. Laplink also confirmed this new version of Laplink Everywhere will be released in the third quarter and will include a free, fully-compatible version for iPhone users.

Laplink Everywhere 5 will be squarely aimed at the mobile device market, with a free version of Laplink Everywhere that allows a mobile user to quickly and easily execute a remote search of their desktop PC and then forward files or email resulting from that search–all with very little data actually transferred to or from the mobile device.

Laplink is also developing special functionality optimized for iPhone users which will be disclosed upon official release of the software. Remote control, file transfer, and synchronization performance will also be boosted significantly in Laplink Everywhere 5. Full-version upgrades for current users of Laplink Everywhere 4 will be available at no charge.
