Now There’s an Easy Way to Capture and Share Cell Phone Videos
with Family and Friends
Photo sharing site dotPhoto’s ‘video-catching’ software lets users
email their camera phone videos directly to a dotPhoto online
account, regardless of wireless carrier
West Trenton, N.J.—September 21, 2005—Add this to your list of cool
cell phone tricks: now just about anyone with a video-enabled cell
phone can instantly send video from their cell phone to an online
account to share with family and friends. It’s the result of a new
service offering from dotPhoto, the photo sharing site that somehow
always seems to beat the big guys to the punch with the latest and
greatest innovations with images and personal memories.
This time, they’re leading the way in cell phone video, which, now
that we all have camera phones, looks to be the next big thing in
mobile communications. The new service allows video phone users on
the country’s biggest wireless carriers to directly email their
videos from their handset to an online dotPhoto account. You don’t
need a wire. You don’t need to download the video first to a memory
card. You don’t even have to email it to your home PC to then
upload. Rather, the video goes directly to your online account where
you can easily send all those great moments to family and friends.
Just imagine: Now it’s easy to save and share video of a child’s
first step, a daughter’s first soccer goal, or the kids leaving the
house for the first day of school (although, we suspect that most of
these cool new video phones are being used by 20-somethings to
embarrass each other with video of what they did last night).
The big news behind the dotPhoto offering is its wide applicability.
The service works with the “big four” cell phone carriers and is
compatible with the most common video formats, or codecs, including
3GP, WMV, QT, AVI, MOV, MP4, 3G2, and MPG.
But enough of the techno speak. What this all means is that cell
phone video just became really easy to use, share, and save. Just
point, shoot, email, and you’re ready to start sending those short
videos to everyone on the planet. While many wireless phone users
can already share videos phone-to-phone, many have no means of
saving videos long-term. dotPhoto’s video upload service allows cell
phone users to save videos online, and share them with friends and
family anywhere, even if they are using incompatible cell phone
platforms or over the Internet.
The service requires no special software, and costs just $1.99 per
month for unlimited storage of videos and photos that last
forever—so your camera phone’s memory will never fill up. dotPhoto
preserves your images on secure and redundant servers utilizing RAID
technology—which means your photos and videos are much safer at
www.dotPhoto.com than on typical home hard drives with lifetimes of
three years or less.
