ShoZu desktopTo be fair this isn’t actually “pure” mobile news, but we love ShoZu that much (as you can see from the number of posts we have about them) that we’re going with it nevertheless.

Folks behind the popular mobile application — which allows users to instantly share their photos and videos with their friends directly from their handsets — announced their first desktop application. Still in beta, ShoZu Desktop works on both PC and Mac computers and makes the process of uploading multimedia content as simple as drag and drop. Sure, you may have Flickr uploader and Picasa installed on your computer, but can you instantly publish a single file on multiple media sharing and social networking sites? Now you can! Heck, you can even set tags, titles and descriptions to any photo or video before uploading.

Over 30 destinations are supported — including Facebook, MySpace, Flickr and YouTube — and you can already start using it. Here’s the link.

About The Author

Dusan Belic

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.

    Hey, just a quick note: ShoZu the mobile application now supports over 320 different handsets ranging from smartphones to feature phones and spanning Symbian, UIQ, Series 40, different flavors of Java and BREW. We are trying to make it really easy for as many people as possible to get ShoZu on their phone- or they can go our and buy a new Motorola or Samsung phone and have the software pre-installed!

    One would think a blog named ‘Into Mobile’ with the domain .com rather than .co.uk might have a better grasp of what’s actually taking place in the world of mobile technology and what’s not, say, ShoZu, applications for mobile phones, and…. site traffic around 2k per month, might be time to try something new or are you for sale for SO cheap?
