Need Testers!

I am working on a small freeware application designed for managing photos/files on the move.

Put simply, if you have an "always on" internet connection (like cable or adsl) this little application sits in your system tray and monitors your email (POP3 & IMAP so far -- working on hotmail). And when it recieves an email with the subject "P800 Upload" it will take all attachments from the email and upload them to an FTP of your choice (automatically).

Making it great for sharing pics instantly (for example if you are at a music event) and to add to this, it can be setup to auto generate a photo album when new pictures are sent.

The good thing is the photos can be setup to automatically be optimized (such as resized or enhanced before upload).

The webpage can be setup automatically and is optimized for viewing on the P800 using just the standard browser.

Its easy to manage your different photo albums as well (and all via email). Got a few nice extra features thrown in as well (that alot of P800 users will appreicate -- some not even related

I am still pondering if i will include its own webserver (or just auto upload to the one of your choice.). Maybe even running its own email server would be a good idea...wouldn't take that long to code that, or would people prefer to just use their own standard accounts?

The initial test version is still a few weeks (2 at max) away from release, but i want to get a few testers before then so i am prepaired on release.

Anyone intrested can email me here : djeuphorix@hotmail.com

Thanks again folks!

i have one, its called "MY T-MOBILE" i upload my pics to a server and it can be viewd within 1 min of upload from anycomp with a password that i give out to friends and family

That`s great idea! I would like to participate in this project. I have one suggestion: it would be great if you could make this app to put some text comment with the pics too. I have seen somewhere a webpage from guy who has P800 and makes daily "blogs" with photos and text directly from P800 from disco, party etc... That app of yours could solve this problem too. Keep me updated. Cheers!

Thanks for the kind words guys. I am glad this project is something that will actually be used.

@jamatjam

Thanks for telling me about this service, i never knew it existed, my system is basically the exact same to be honest, its totally free as well. But the difference is YOU run the server, which has advantages and disadvantages (for example you need always computer on with net access)...

Thanks again for informing me on this...

@lexus

Wow thanks for the kind words. It sure is possible to add comments to your photos, i thought about that tonite. And i am adding it just now.

The emails are based on a simple template. Which makes managing blogs super easy.

I actually got thinking more on the server on all the time, well not everybody will have a computer on all the time, so i am looking into a single person being able to handle 'accounts' for people. So if one persons runs a server, it might be possible for him to host accounts for others, which would mean we could easily setup a nice little network of p800 bloggers...

This would add alot of time onto development though, because it means changing the whole structure of the application.

If anyone is intrested please make sure when you email me use the subject line : Beta Testing Esato

Thanks! keep the comments coming

Will this application be a server side app or rather a full blown app ? It would be nice if you could convert it to a PHP app that uses cronjobs and the mailserver to run. It would make it more flexible and easy-integratable with different platforms and users' needs.

Just an idea

id just like to say another thing, why only limet this service to P800?

u could make this service so that anyone with a phone that takes pics and has a email thingy on there phone can use your very nice service,


and i have a broadband connection at 1MBps and would be happy to run this server service as long as i dont gotta pay for it like a web site or sum crap like that!

The service isnt only limited to P800. The webpages are simply optimized for P800 Web Browser (the auto generated ones).

@Kire

Nice idea but i dont do PHP It will be a "full blown app" however.

@Jamatjam

Everyone will be able to use the service (as long as they have email and camera available on their phone).

Also you will not pay a single thing. It will always be free as its run by yourself (on your own computer). YOU are the host of your content and website.


Also does anyone have any links to websites containing software for managing blogs on the internet and maybe some example blogs to check out?

Its best for me to see what features are most needed in case i missed in in the development plan.

Posted by jamatjam
can u exsplain that again please about that host thing to the web,


im a bit confused, i understand i wont pay anything
