Do you download lots of files on your device?

Since I received notification of the new version of WinMobile Download Accelerator, i've been pondering the target market for the application. It's a very, very nicely done application with a very, very slick interface and excellent integration with the inbuild Pocket IE browser. Only since checking out the app however, have I realised exactly how much I DO download!

I would use it if I could guarantee I had enough battery power to download and then subsequently use whatever it was I downloaded. However, when I might need a file at work it will help as anything with torrent in it is firewalled.

Im interested to know if they are or could become plus partners?
