We mentioned a few weeks ago how that Verizon and Skype would be partnering to bring Skype’s VOIP application to Blackberry. It’s an exclusive deal between the two and now Verizon has a video on their YouTube giving us a peak on how they will be working together.
Thwapr is a new mobile-to-mobile video sharing platform that allows users to capture and share video and photos on mobile phones without the need for any applications. The service is geared to work with any device and only requires a camera and web browser. Thawpr is a free app and allows you to interact with recipients by sending (“Thwapping”) media to their devices, and they are then able to reply with a “Thwapback”. Thwapr can be used as a break from conventional text messaging, allowing users to send and receive videos for more enriched communication. The service detects the formats, screen size and browser on the receiving device, so there is no need to install any additional applications.
Thwapr is currently still in beta and is available only for the US and Canada.
