The notion of exposing my files to the internet, even via a 128 bit SSL, is still a bit terrifying to me. Even if the SSL connection is secure, how can Avvenue prove, in a day and age when reports of corporate network hacks is rampant, that their corporate network is secure? Most corporate network hacks go unreported as they cause too much embarassment to the effected company.
At the same time, out of sheer curiousity, I've experimented with Avvenue as well. It certainly shows some promise. But, still, how many people routinely use their PDAs in environments that would allow them to (a) expose corporate information via a third party tool (e.g., Avvenu) or (b) wish to show off photos, on a PDA, to family and friends in locales that happen to provide WiFi? For that matter, PDA storage is getting large enough that most files, save for high resolution digital photos and extremely large documents, are easily portable.
The notion is interesting but I'm not convinced that it's the earth-shattering service that so many consider it to be.
