Accessing SharePoint from a MAC...becomes easier with SharePlus

The user experience of accessing SharePoint from a MAC is crippled at best, particularly with SharePoint 2007. SharePoint 2010 has improved things, as well as Office for Mac has, but the fact remains that Microsoft acknowledges Safari is not fully supported even on SharePoint 2010, and features remain unavailable.

At the same time, Mac desktop adoption is on the rise, as well as SharePoint usage (Dux makes a good case for this in his blog).

This is why we've decided to launch a Mac version of SharePlus, which has been available since the beginning of this month in the newly released Mac app store.

We are well aware that the available version 1.0.1 has a lot of space for improvement, it must be regarded as a first version. For us it represents the start of a new journey, similar to the one we started back in April 2010, when we launched SharePlus for the iPad for the first time.

In the same way as the iOS version it comes in two flavors, Lite version for free with read only access, and a Pro version with offline support, plus write capabilities.

With time we expect to port the same set of features existing in the iOS version, to the MAC version, even some more to make the most of desktop capabilities. So you if are a sharepointer mac user you should get it now, while it's available at an introductory price of 14.99!, and as usual provide good feedback, which is always welcome.
