Sprint has recently announced an enhancement to Sprint Picture Mail to allow its customers to send photos and videos straight from their phones to popular social media sites, including MySpace, Photobucket and YouTube.
The Picture Mail enhancement uses the VeriSign Xoomerang platform to provide uploads from the user’s Sprint phone to a variety of social media sites. Designed to satisfy the fast-growing number of mobile consumers who use online social networking and social media destinations, Xoomerang is a mobile media enablement solution that allows users to view and publish videos and pictures onto various online destinations through easy-to-use interfaces. With Xoomerang, Sprint Picture Mail subscribers can easily capture and publish videos and pictures to some of their favorite destinations.
In addition to the mentioned three services (MySpace, Photobucket and YouTube), Sprint also plans to add other destinations to the service in the coming months.
The Sprint Picture Mail is available on more than 30 Sprint phones — including the Samsung Instinct, LG Rumor, MOTO RAZR2, Sanyo Katana DLX. Subscribers with compatible phones will automatically receive the enhancement the next time they upload or share a photo/video on their phone. Unlimited use of the service is included at no additional cost for all Sprint Picture Mail subscribers.
