I know I go back and forth, but I LOVE the idea of ShoZu, it is EXACTLY what I want for my media in this uber-connected world. For those that don’t know, ShoZu lets you upload your pictures and videos to dern near anywhere on the internet, directly from your handset. The best part? You can set it to AUTOMATICALLY do this. Yeah, that’s why I love it so much. I was at my sister’s all day Thanksgiving snapping pics with the N82 of the family and all. The best part is that when I get home from my festivities, I don’t have to sit down at the computer and upload all my photos. They’re already online.
ShoZu is an app that accomplishes what I firmly believe technology is for – to enrich and enable our real lives. WHEN IT WORKS, it does this beautifully. Since I’m putting my photos on Flickr, I can even interact with others through ShoZu by seeing when comments are added to my pics, and I can even post a comment! Love it.
So why on earth would I not have been in love with ShoZu before? Cause it still sucks on my N95. It’s unbelievably frustrating to me. It also doesn’t like videos, for some stupid reason. The biggest video file I can upload with ShoZu is 10MB. Do you realize how short of a video 10MB is on a phone like the N82? Just to give an idea, I took a 54 second video earlier today, it’s 17MB. So, yeah. But it works wonderfully on the Nokia N82, and frankly, in my book, that’s actually another reason to get this phone. Just cause ShoZu works.
I’ve got more to come on the Nokia N82 review soon, but I wanted to share that with you. My Flickr photos are here, if you want to check them out for some comparison shots, and to see the quality of the N82. I didn’t mess with any settings, I always take pics with the automatic settings. Beautiful.
