and social networking sites, including Picasa, MySpace and many others.

lives and experiences with those closest to them from virtually anywhere
around the globe by making images available for viewing just moments after
they've been taken and uploaded from a mobile device," said David Wright,
President, Avanquest Product Design Group. "The SendPhotos PC interface
enables users to organise images into a specified online album for later
viewing and sharing, while the solution's advanced synchronization
capabilities automatically ensure that the latest images are safely stored
and archived online."
