Video Email for iPhone

I've been using Eyejot video email on my PC for a long time now to send video emails to friends and colleagues. It's a way to give a personal touch to email that words can't achieve. I was pleased to see that Eyejot has been released for the iPhone and is available at the App Store now.

One of the cooler functions of the iPhone version of Eyejot is that you can store up to 5 video business cards that have your contact details attached to them as text. It seems like a great way to give someone your business card in a way that won't get lost somehow, but will be there in their email.

Haven't tried it yet on the mobile, but am looking forward to using this new technology in the next few days. Apparently  you can make a high quality video with a camcorder and upload it to use in your video business cards.

I've often said that words alone are sometimes insufficient, and pictures and video add a whole new dimension. Now, with programs like this and fast computer bandwidth like ADSL2+, this form of communication is now a reality for most people.

You can download Eyejot from the App Store on your phone or from this link. It does cost $4.49 but that's about the same as a good cup of coffee, so try it out. The PC version is free, but limited to 60 seconds unless you upgrade.

  1. Good news - the free version now allows videos up to five (5) minutes in length. PRO goes to 10 and PRO+ to 15, along with special features like attachment support and logo branding. Thanks for mentioning our new iPhone app. We're very excited about what it offers our audience.

    And while some folks may question the price, we agree with you that it's about the cost of a good cup of coffee and well worth it. Here's a humorous take on how some people react to the cost of apps: http://theoatmeal.com/blog/apps
