And not just with the proprietary PictureMail service - but with MySpace, YouTube and Photobucket, with more photo sharing and social networking sites coming soon. With this new tool, you can directly upload photos and videos to several sharing sites. The Instinct was one of the first phones with this feature, and now you can directly send your videos to YouTube, without copying and transcoding them on your PC!
Current Sprint Picture Mail subscribers can use this new service for free from more than 30 Sprint phones, including the Samsung Instinct, LG Rumor, RAZR2, Katana DLX and others. The new service will automatically be added to your phone the next time you upload or share a photo. Just enter your credentials for the site, and you're off and running!
One big advantage for the service is it transcodes the QCELP audio codec used by many mobile phones into a more friendly format supported fully by YouTube. BuzzAboutWireless readers and admins have done some testing and found it to be quite usable with only a slight reduction in video quality. We've only tested the Instinct, but the interface and usability are great - select the video from your albums, hit 'upload' and it's scheduled for a background transfer. The data gets sent behind the scenes and in 5 or 10 minutes, your video is live on YouTube! Mo-vlogging is here and it's real.
Sprint has been a leader in mobile media, introducing the first mobile photo sharing service and now expanding that to embrace today's social media sites. For more information please visit http://sprint.com/picturemail
