Sprint's new PCS Picture Mail allows online media sharing, collaboration

by Evan Blass, posted Feb 26th 2006 at 2:00PM

Following closely on the heels of Yahoo!'s ZoneTag mobile photo solution comes a new service for Sprint customers that will allow them to upload text, photos, and video clips to a web page for viewing and editing by others. When the Sprint PCS Picture Mail groups debut this spring, subscribers will be able to create media-rich sites on whatever topic they like and share their cameraphone-captured treasures with approved users who can also upload content via email or Sprint phone. Pictures can also be printed and framed or slapped on gift items like mouse pads, stamps, mugs, etc., directly from one's Picture Mail account. Sprint is currently demoing this new service at PMA in Florida, where many folks are no doubt strolling around with pixelated pictures of themselves on their t-shirts right now.

Lets hope that people can take your picture off your phones to use this service. With a sprint phone the biggest problem I have seen is as soon as the pictures are saved to the phone you can put them online

I also upload my photos to my Sprint picture mail online account already. The revolution referenced in the article is that now you can upload your pictures to a public portal that others can view and even upload to as well.

Highly Ranked
