S3Tonik- Making Amazon Simple Storage Service even Simpler



This week our iOS Application S3Tonik made it to the Apple App Store.  This is Version 3.0 of the application and this one is an Universal application.  That means the same binary runs on both iPhone and iPad.  In case someone has already bought it for the iPad, they should be able to upgrade to the new version at no cost.

Speaking about cost, the application (S3Tonik) is modestly priced at $0.99c.

At this price what you get is access to a demo account (Amazon Simple Storage Service account) where we provide key documents, materials, audio and video content on modern technology topics like Mobile, Web 2.0, Cloud, Green Computing. Topics like Security, computing in different government departments are also of key interest to us.  We constantly scour the web, collect publicly consumable materials on these topics and bring them together at one place for you to consume.  Now whether you are waiting at the doctor's for the next appointment, or in that airport terminal you should not get bored as long as you carry an iPhone or an iPad with a dosage of interest in these topics.

Now if you really like the content and want to save it, you can download the files to your briefcase (a feature brought to you by S3Tonik) and carry them for offline access.  So your browsing will not stop even when you board that long flight or even after you enter the doctor's chambers where WiFi signals thin out.  Comprende?

If you wanted to share a key document with a friend, colleague or loved one, you can do so with email share option.  And if you are rushing for the next key client meeting and have found a statistic from our content, whcih you wanna share with your client for convincing, you can always choose the PRINT option and make use of a network printer.

Like it so far?

Well, if you do, you might want to go tell your head IT guy at the corporate that the easiest way for him to disseminate key documents (sales collaterals, brochures,  product videos) is to cycle it through Amazon S3.   It is inexpensive ( costs around 20 cents a GB per month for storage and 10 cent a GB for bandwidth) and durable.  Also, if you choose the proper Security options, you can make it really Secure.  Hey, even the government people are using Amazon.  No Kidding!

So now, if your corporate central guys decide to do this, you can always access the S3 account which your office guys have setup by configuring your own account in S3Tonik.  It will need a complex Access/Secret Key which you can hand enter from the setting screens of S3Tonik.   If you find hand entering cumbersome, well... you are not alone!  We found it tough too and hence we provided a second option. You can setup your access/secret key pair in a XML file, make it accessible behind an URL. S3Tonik will access the url, parse the keys and setup your account.  Not too bad!

Now, with your own account setup, ALL those sales collaterals, brochures, product videos are accessible with a flick of a finger, a quick touch and a pinch.  Magic!  Right?

You never have to go through the document dis-array or suffer version anxiety  (hey , did I send the right version to the client or will I face the music tomorrow morning when I reach corporate?).  Sweet, isn't it?

Well, we also thought so.  Hence we call S3Tonik,  the Tonik that you have been waiting for to make Amazon Simple Storage service even Simpler.

Now, if you want even more complicated stuff like versioning, auditing or 2 factor authenticating,  feel free to send us an email at support@s3tonik.com

And if you like the app, do not forget to rate or even review the App.
