Clearwell has taken the lead in the mobile ediscovery market with their new product, iClearwell.  It’s a mobile app for the iPhone and iPad which allows end users to quickly get information about cases and Clearwell appliances.

Clearwell is taking advantage of the law firms who have slowly been migrating to the iPhone as their preferred mobile platform.  While the once-ubiquitous Blackberry continues to be a major player for many reasons (IT support and familiarity being important, not to mention a keyboard with tactile response), development and visibility for iPhone apps remains a distinct advantage for Apple.

Time will tell if this means that Clearwell is likely to develop for that other important mobile OS, Android.  I think Android has a bright future, but the full computing power of the OS has yet to be harnessed in the corporate world.

This new app is also a great marketing tool for Clearwell – it shows that they are responsive to the market, and makes Clearwell data easy to manipulate, display, and ultimately show off to clients.  CW’s web interface looks nice and everything, but this gives a legitimate reason to show off your new iPad!
