zoomIt App announced for iPhone
Posted on February 10th, 2010 | Filed under: Apple
Apple users may rejoice. zoomMediaPlus has recently announced zoomIt, an application-enabled accessory proffering Apple users unprecedented access to content for their iPhone. The newly unfurled offering enables users to access and share content from their computer or cameras or netbooks with their iPhone.
Dodging the need to sync devices to move content, the new app-enabled accessory emerges as a compact portable accessory that connects to an iPhone via the bottom connector of these devices. Intelligently designed, the creative solution reads and shares content from an SD card of any type/density when inserted into the card slot of the zoomIt.
Besides, it lends support to all iPhone SDK 3.0 (or higher) file types including photos, music, videos, and documents (.PPT, .XLS, .DOC, .PDF, and more). Users can now view, listen, transfer and share content via email, Facebook, Flickr, etc.
“zoomIt is creating an entirely new way for Apple iPhone and iPod touch users to access and use content on the go,” stated Chris Fisher, President, zoomMediaPlus. “Consumers want to be able to view, listen to and share their content instantly using the device they always have with them – not wait until they can connect to their MAC or PC and synch. In seconds, you can access content and ‘zoom it’ to your iPhone/iPod touch, your friends, family, co-workers and the web.”
Once the zoomIt accessory is connected for the first time, the user will be prompted to start the automatic download and installation of the zoomIt application from the Apple Applications store, which will be done over the 3G/EDGE/Wi-Fi connections. The app can also be downloaded to iTunes and synched to the iPhone when connected to a PC or Mac. Once the app is installed, the user needs to launch the application and can begin viewing the contents of the SD card using a general purpose file manager.
Further, the SD card content can be either entirely or selectively transferred to the mobile device, allowing users to disconnect the accessory/SD card and have access to all transferred files permanently and within the zoomIt app on the iPhone. Additionally, the app endures an extensive range of content management and sharing features subsuming email and direct posts to Facebook and Flickr of photos on the SD card.
The zoomIT accessory will hit shelves in April 2010 with a price tag that reads at $59.95. On the other hand, the free zoomIt app can be purchased from the Apple App Store under Utilities.
