Pointy Heads Software has unveiled Knocking, a new form of communication designed to redefine the way mobile users share moments. Knocking eliminates the -˜upload, send, download’ process, establishing live, device-to-device connectivity regardless of proximity or other barriers. Knocking Live Pic Sharing, the first in a series of Knocking apps – available for download now – creates an instant device-to-device connection allowing one iPhone user to securely control, browse, and save another user’s photo albums as the other watches it happen, live.
“The future is about friends sharing moments while mobile technology enables everything we do. Knocking is a breakthrough empowering friends to share moments like never before,” said Jim Montalto, co-founder of Pointy Heads Software. “Knocking Live Pic Sharing lets you watch your friends and loved ones flip through your photos to see and save your experiences, live. With Knocking, you can save dozens of photos in a matter of seconds.”
Existing -˜photo-sharing’ apps are -˜photo-sending’ apps that rely on older technology or close proximity between devices -“ most require users to upload photos then transmit them using the internet while another person waits to download. Knocking Live Pic Sharing eliminates that process, letting users share up to 100 photos instantly. With Knocking Live Pic Sharing, users just select an album, -˜knock’ their friends and watch live as they control the users iPhone, flipping through pictures and saving them to their own device, instantly regardless of distance.
Knocking Live Pic Sharing also includes a -˜Facebook Connect’ feature which automatically publishes stories on users’ -˜Knocks’ in real-time. As the first in a series of Knocking apps from Pointy Heads, Knocking Live Pic Sharing is available for download in the social networking category of the Apple app store, free for the first 50,000 users.
