The Mobile Snapshots Saturday 2008-01-05
Ever wanted to keep your friends continuously updated on the great life of yours? Now you can! Oh well, I know you could already snap a picture of your reality using your mobile phone, and immediately send it as an MMS to your friends. And yes, some of you might even send video from your 3G phone.
So what’s the deal? You’d expect I tell you, right?
Indeed, the news is a service at maufait.com to which you can upload your mobile phone images, and have them presented on the web in a nice Flash widget. Now all your friends can follow you on line, as you rush through your life mo-snapping whatever you find significant. You don’t have to MMS them one at a time. Your images are saved at the maufait site and you can include a nifty widget on your own site, to present the mobile snaps. The service is called Mo-Snaps, and I am happy to code the Flash widget.
What’s the catch here? As it stands right now, you have to be invited to participate. The whole thing is in beta state. The upload only works for BlackBerry phones, but development is under way for any Java enable phone. There is already a MIDP application for Java phones, but a test on my SE 810i failed, so there are still work to be done on that application.
Sooner or later this service will work for all of us.
Starting this Sunday the Berry Review will hopefully report from the CES in Las Vegas, using this service.
Have a look!
