Flip Video announces new version of FlipShare with social features and mobile apps for iPhone, iPad and Android devices
Sydney, Australia, 4 April 2011 – Cisco’s Flip Video™, a pioneer in the shoot and share video camera category, has announced new social and video sharing capabilities with the launch of its latest FlipShare™ software as well as FlipShare Mobile apps for iPhone®, iPad®, iPod touch® and Android™ devices. Existing users will be notified of the available upgrade automatically when they open the FlipShare application, or users can go to FlipShare.com to download it.
The FlipShare software, which comes with every Flip video camera, now has enhanced video sharing capabilities. The new software includes FlipShare Groups, a new and social way for consumers to share video more securely with friends and family. After creating a FlipShare Group, users and their friends can access their videos from FlipShare.com and through the FlipShare Mobile apps that are now available for iPhone, iPad and Android. Within FlipShare Groups users can comment, read and post messages on each other’s videos and Groups.
Scott Jackson, Marketing Manager of Cisco Consumer Products ANZ, says, “Capturing precious moments is just the first step because as soon as you have the footage, you want to share it with friends and family. The upgraded FlipShare makes this even easier to do while FlipShare Mobile apps now extend the FlipShare experience to mobile devices and allow users to share videos and pictures with friends, family and colleagues whilst on the move.”
FlipShare continues to allow unlimited private video sharing via email, without the inconvenience of sending huge attachments. The FlipShare greetings card library now offers animated and personalised card templates for creating individual messages. Compatible with both Mac and PC computers, FlipShare allows contacts to be imported directly from Gmail™, MSN™, Yahoo™ and AOL™ so users can easily create address books for sharing videos.
