Do-It-Yourself MMS Greeting Cards with Images and Audio Sent as a Cell
Phone Slideshow
BOSTON, Dec. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Cellyspace (http://www.cellyspace.com) has
launched a do-it-yourself, web-based Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) for
users to create multimedia greeting cards and send them to their family and
friend's phones. Dubbed the "MMS Composer," this service allows users to
upload pictures and audio files from their computer, edit them into a
slideshow and then send them for immediate or scheduled delivery. MMS
messages are optimized to fit mobile phone formats and can include audio,
video, text and images. The service is well suited for making an immediate
and emotional impact on that special person at that special time.
Cellyspace doesn't charge to create or store MMS messages but there is
a $0.20 charge to send them. There is no need for recipients to download
software on their phones. The service is compatible with the major US
wireless carriers and with most MMS-enabled ("picture messaging") phones on
those networks.
Mobile greeting cards can have a unique impact on the recipient and
cost less than the postage alone for printed cards. According to Richard
Eicher, CEO of Skycore, "Sending thoughtfully composed, intimate, humorous
or inspirational messages can be especially meaningful when received on
someone's mobile phone since it is often their most personal of
communications devices."
SMS (text) messaging is a hugely popular method of communications. MMS
messaging is the next level of technology but it has been slow to take off
due to the complexity of creating and then converting content across
thousands of handsets. Cellyspace's MMS technology has largely solved this
problem, enabling new mobile applications for both consumers and
enterprises.
