Announcing Pixelpipe 2.0 for Android, one click photo uploads & more

January 7, 2010 · 10 Comments

We’ve released a major update to our Android client this afternoon. This client is built on top of our previous Android applications and provides uploading of Photos, Video, Audio & blog/status posts to over 120 currently supported Pixelpipe services. The client does however add a few significant new features.

- One click publishing from the camera: This feature eliminates the hassle of having to open up a 3rd party application for uploading after the point of capture. The user shoots a picture with the phone’s built-in camera application, after the image is captured we pop up a dialog that allows the user to add Title, Caption & Tags and upload in the background. Users can even select from a list of services in a GUI and click on the services they’d like to upload to in this dialog. Imagine taking a picture and sending it to Picasa, Twitter & Facebook at the same time in a few seconds to get an idea of how the feature will be used.

- Automatic publishing: This feature eliminates the dialog in the previous feature and automatically publishes every photo captured in the background. This feature could be useful for users that are publishing a lifestream or even automatic backups of images to our supported online storage services like Evernote, Acrobat.com or Box, even sending to their personal FTP server is possible. The feature is also complimentary for Twitter users with our new time based grouping for Twitter posts we recently introduced. Imagine setting a 24 hour delay while on vacation and having all of your images automatically uploaded to be published at the end of the day as one Tweet to get an idea of usage. You can read more about this feature at Automatically-grouped-media-for-twitter-posts/

The update supports all Android phones from the old G1 to the latest Motorola Droid & Nexus One, all phones with and OS level above 1.5 (cupcake) can take advantage of these features. We’ll also be updating our single service applications for Facebook, Picasa, Flickr, Photobucket, TinyPic, Twitter & Yahoo Meme throughout the day.

Please checkout the clients and let us know what you think!
