SAN DIEGO, Sept. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- PhotoCrank, Inc. at DEMOfall '06
today launched an interactive, photo-entertainment service in beta for the
mobile phone market. This easy and fun-to-use service enables subscribers
to personalize their mobile photos directly from the palms of their hands
with custom graphics and captions.
PhotoCrank.com's Crank Gallery offers a variety of customizable content
ranging from pop culture expressions to fill-in-the-blank thought bubbles.
Cranking is simple. Just snap a photo with a camera phone and text it
to PhotoCrank. At the speed of a picture message, PhotoCrank returns the
photo with the customized content layered on top. There is no software
required to send or receive a crank, just a camera phone.
"PhotoCrank takes picture messaging into the realm of social
networking," said Chris Shipley, executive producer, DEMOfall. "The appeal
of having a camera phone is the ability to capture moments whenever and
wherever they happen. With PhotoCrank, mobile phone users can take that a
step further by adding a creative touch. It's an innovative twist on
technology that consumers already use."
"Whether you're snapping photos of your pet or spending a night with
friends, cranking lets you spice up your pictures," said PhotoCrank CEO
Jeffrey Tannenbaum. "The new generation of mobile consumer expects to use
multimedia services to connect with friends and family instantly. By
offering cranks ranging from cheerful to playfully biting, PhotoCrank is
perfect for enhancing these captured moments."
Anyone can use PhotoCrank by sending a picture message from a mobile
handset to try@photocrank.com, or by visiting http://www.photocrank.com. Use a
cranked photo as you would any regular mobile photo: apply it as wallpaper,
send it to friends or set it as the picture for an incoming call.
