I wrote about the Postman App from Freeverse before (here), but for those of you that didn’t see it / can’t remember:
Postman makes it easy for users to create their very own instant picture-postcard simply by snapping a photo, editing greetings and adding personalized messages. iPhone OS 3.0 Map technology works with Google (NSDQ: GOOG) Maps for location identification and enables user selectable weather. Users can then share their creations on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, the Web or via email with a one-click upload straight from the App.
Well now the App is updated to 2.0, bringing in the following features:
This update features a streamlined interface by noted U.I. designer David Lanham, professionally created built-in themes and much more. In addition to the easy social media upload ability of the first Postman release, 2.0 now includes beautiful new Landmark photos, a shake-to-erase mechanism, and text that can be tapped and edited instantly. As per user’s requests, text is now resizable and can be spellchecked instantly. Customization continues further with the capability to send postcards with enhanced geo-location accuracy or even without a front picture. This free update makes Postman even more fun and intuitive to use.
For those of you that are tired of games on the App Store, this is one of those Apps that is well worth a look - Postman is available from the App Store on iPhone and iPod touch.
About The Author
Ben Robinson
Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career
when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has
now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the
next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas!
He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently
became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years
when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to
'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make
your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device)
isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question
of why you continue to use it...
His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and
infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the
occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience
in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with
regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
