Pixelpipe for Android feature updates

October 2, 2009 · 1 Comment

We’ve released updates to Pixelpipe Pro & Lite applications to the Android Market with a number of new features and optimizations.

The big new feature is that we’ve added the ability to include geo-location along with status/micro-blog updates & blog updates to over 30 services, we’ve been doing this for sometime with post with photos however have introduced the feature for text only updates as well.

The Geo-Status feature works by enabling the “Geo On” button when posting to Pixelpipe. We’ll then include a link to a pi.pe page with a Google map for services that don’t yet support geo updates like Facebook & Blogger. For services like Friendfeed (& Twitter soon) that do support geo-tagging we will pass the coordinates to the services via APIs which will display a map along side the post. This feature is initially exposed on our new Android clients however will be rolled out to our integrations with Nokia and iPhone soon.

New features:

- Ability to include geo-location along with status/micro-blog updates, blog posts and even e-mails.

- You can now select your destinations on a per image, video or audio file basis. This is available from the Pixelpipe app by choosing “Upload to..” and from the “Share” menu found in the Gallery, Camera and most 3rd party applications

- Sign-up & Sign-in both are executed with-in the application. This provides better performance and a cleaner sign-up/sign-in flow.

- Now in simplified and traditional Chinese with distribution through NetDragon in China

Tips:

- Press the menu key in the application to switch between the photo, video & audio views

- Only the service that support the media type you’re uploading will appear in the “Upload to…” menu

Announcing the availability of m.pixelpipe.com

December 10, 2008 · 2 Comments

We recently released a version of the Pixelpipe web site that’s been optimized for a mobile browser. You can add & edit destinations, change your account settings and even check on the status of your uploads.

We originally created the pages for our iPhone and Android clients so their optimized for a 480×320 screen however have tested with Nokia N-Series handsets at 320×240 without issue. We’re not promoting this as a solution for every mobile browser however if you have a smartphone with at least a 320×240 screen resolution you might find the functionality convenient while you’re on the go.
