Free trial - Vayyoo reinvents email for BlackBerry

We’ve been talking a lot about Vayyoo for a few reasons: we love their product and we’ve been playing Settlers of Catan with their director of marketing on a pretty regular basis.

Here are some old articles about them that tells the story of the product’s progression.

Today Vayyoo has launched vPost to the public at a one-time purchase price of $9.95 with a free two-week trial.

Check them out in the store here.

vPost is an app that lets you capture and email any combination of Pictures, Video, Audio Notes, Text & GPS location using an extremely powerful and simple interface.

Once you capture any combination of media you can send it via email to friends, family, colleagues, blogs and social networks. Without vPost it can take over 5 minutes to compose an email with 2 pictures, an audio note, and GPS location. With vPost this task can be done in less than a minute with no hassles. You can try vPost today and start sending rich-media to anyone and everyone!

Use it for anything:
- File a life experience by emailing it to yourself
- Share moments with close friends while it’s happening (near real-time)
- Publish media to Facebook, Blogger, Wordpress, Flickr, Picasa, etc. and share with you online communities
- Annotate pictures with a voice recording of what’s actually happened
- Send accidents, act’s heroism, & other newsworthy events in to news agencies (CNN, BBC, etc.)
-Update Twitter via services like posterous.com, pixelpipe.com, and utterli.com
- Send vPost voice & video messages to each other
- Send your friends your exact location in near real time.

Vayyoo has assured us a that a storm version will be available soon.

Vayyoo has setup a vPost website at www.getvpost.com where they have a FAQ, contact info, and links to their Twitter account.

Comment with what you think of the app!

We’ll be sending an email to some of the comments with free license keys.

How to quickly switch between email accounts on WinMo

Windows Mobile’s email application might not be perfect, but one thing it really has going for it is how simple it is to switch from one email account to another very quickly.

If you’re like me, you have a handful of emails that you check on a regular basis — your work email, your personal email, the email address you use when you sign up for something that could potentially spam you with Viagra ads… etc.

Check out the above video demo provided by Todd Ogasawara of MobileAppsToday and you’ll see just how easy it is.

Barack Obama to recover from crackberry addiction

soon to end

Barack Obama has talked about his BlackBerry before, saying that it’s his guilty pleasure and he can’t stop checking his email. Well all of that may have to change because according to the law, the general public must have access to his entire official correspondence. Clinton also had to cease e-mail services because of this same issue. The only solution proposed would be an email system where he could receive but not send. If that’s the case, maybe Barack will be able to enjoy a BlackBerry Pluto after all (I assume he gets unreleased devices from RIM).

Sync OTA with Zimbra - Now available for the iPhone 3G

Zimbra collaboration software is now available for iPhone

Zimbra mobile, the open source messaging and collaboration suite, now supports the iPhone 3G. Zimbra lets you OTA sync email, calendars, and contacts as well as a photo sync feature that allows photos associated with iPhone contacts to sync with the Zimbra Address book. I haven’t tried it yet, but it could be a decent alternative to MobileMe which has had some issues.

The opposite of mobile entertainment has arrived

The Peek does nothing but email

Here it is folks, the complete opposite of mobile entertainment: a phone that does nothing but email. Don’t get me wrong, I see the benefit of this and the market, but it lacks everything I love about the mobile industry. If only the price were right. The Peek will cost you $99.95 to purchase plus $19.95 per month to send unlimited e-mails over T-Mobile’s network. Not great considering the phone is trying to sell itself as a bare bones device.

PhoneFace Speed-Dial nabs Facebook pictures to make calls

If you dug the interface in FlipSide, Electric Pocket has recently tweaked it and made PhoneFace, allowing you to scroll through pictures of friends to call and text them. Pictures can be taken from your BlackBerry’s camera, nabbed off your media card, or even imported from Facebook. This is a pretty slick idea (along the same lines as PictureDial) that I could see as an eventual full Address Book replacement. Throw a few more options in there like e-mail and MMS, maybe add some group options, ability to zoom in and out of a grid, and you’ve got something pretty awesome. Interested? Give PhoneFace a shot for 7 days free!
