ShoZu Signs Preload Deal With Motorola

ShoZu has signed a deal with Motorola which will see the photo-uploading applicatoin preloaded onto mobile phones. Initially the ShoZu application will be available for free download to the MotoRizr Z8 from http://www.hellomoto.com when the phone is launched in Europe, but later this year application will be pre-installed on some Motorola handsets around the world. The application will let users upload photos and video clips from their cameraphones to a variety of web destinations for a single data transfer fee, and they can add titles or tags after uploading and exchange comments between the web and the phone. Current destination options include online communities such as YouTube, Buzznet, Flickr, Kodak EasyShare Gallery, MSN’s Windows Live Spaces, Textamerica, Webshots, Pikeo and Moblog.uk; personal blogging sites Blogger, TypePad and WordPress; citizen-contributed photojournalism sites such as CNN, the BBC and Scoopt; and any FTP or email address.
