14 DAY TRIAL // Sharpcast and Alltel Wireless announced that Sharpcast Photos has been selected as the standard and exclusive photo sharing and synchronization application for Alltel Wireless' line of Windows Mobile smartphones.
Sharpcast Photos is a software and service combination that delivers a new way to view entire PC and web photo collections on mobile phones. Sharpcast Photos automatically backs up photo collections online, organizes them into web albums and keeps the collection constantly up to date across all of a person's mobile phones, PCs and the web.
With the new Sharpcast Photos mobile edition client, photos taken on a phone are instantaneously sent to the web and to the user's desktop PC. Likewise, photos on the user's desktop PC and in their online web albums are automatically visible on their mobile phone, without having to rely on a mobile web browser. The organization of the albums is kept intact on the phone, and photos are streamed instantaneously to the phone as they are viewed.
Sharpcast Photos is unlike other photo services due to its continuous multi-way synchronization. For example, when photos are edited in one location such as a home PC, the change is made automatically on the person's other PCs and online web albums. If photos are added through a web browser while away from home, those photos automatically appear on the person's home PC and mobile phone. Changes made to a collection while offline, for example on an airplane, will be automatically synchronized the next time the person connects to the Internet.
Sharpcast Photos mobile edition currently supports Windows Mobile 5.0 smartphones, with more phone platforms to be supported in 2007. Users can download the application and sign up for their free Sharpcast Photos account HERE. From there, customers can sign up to trial the service with up to 5 GB free storage or may choose to upgrade with a monthly subscription.
