iTookThisOnMyPhone.com, Inc., a leading mobile photo and video-sharing technology company, and Cellular South (www.cellularsouth.com), a leader in wireless solutions and innovation, announced today that they are offering Cellular South customers a free, co-branded version of iTookThisOnMyPhone, an innovative mobile photo sharing application.
Cellular South customers with BlackBerry Pearl and Curve smartphones and HTC 6800, HTC Touch 6900, and HTC Touch Diamond smartphones will now have the functionality to automatically and seamlessly save their mobile photos to their own, password-protected website hosted by iTookThisOnMyPhone.com. Images can be managed directly on a handheld device or online, where users can share their favorite photos and videos with friends, colleagues and family members.
The most recent version of iTookThisOnMyPhone features Unified AccessTM, a convenient way to send photos and videos from BlackBerry® and WindowsMobile smartphones to many popular social networking websites. Users simply take a photo and the photos are automatically uploaded to the sites they've selected, including Facebook, Snapfish, YouTube, Flickr, Webshots and Picasa.
"iTookThisOnMyPhone.com has made it easy for our customers by providing one simple way to select where they'd like to send their photos," said Jim Richmond, director of Corporate Communications for Cellular South. "We're excited about adding this free, new functionality to some of our most popular smartphones."
Daniel Zito, vice president of Business Development for iTookThisOnMyPhone.com, said users can choose any or all of a wide selection of destinations for their photos "with the knowledge that all of their photos will be safe and secure in their personal web gallery." Research shows that users want to easily upload and store their photos without technical issues and concerns. "iTookThisOnMyPhone does it for them," he said.
Zito said users no longer have to deal with multiple icons for different websites since iTookThisOnMyPhone enables simultaneous, automatic uploads as the photo is taken. Map coordinates are uploaded as well and users can add captions to their photos. Users choose if they want their photos or videos to be shared with others, or remain private, and they can see all of their photos on their website in seconds.
Richmond said Cellular South customers with BlackBerry Pearl and Curve smartphones and HTC Touch smartphones can sign up for the free service at cellularsouth.itookthisonmyphone.com (or cs.getitook.com), download the application to their device in seconds and start using it immediately.
"Everybody likes to take photos and videos with their devices, but now our smartphone customers have an easy way to transfer photos and video from their phone to a personal, secure website," Richmond said. "With this service, there are no wires or cables to connect and no fees for using it."
