Alltel Wireless Launches PhotoCopier Service

Do you have a gazillion of picture stuck in your cell phone? I know I used to. The CD software which came with my cell phone wouldn't run on my computer, so the result was that I got a stack of pictures which I can't transfer at all unless I did through Bluetooth or infrared. Even then it required a bit of my time. Alltel Wireless's new service called the "PhotoCopter" eliminates the need to worry about image transfer from the cell phone. You simply take pictures and that's it.

The service was launched in cooperation with Ontela, owner of Photobucket.com. Basically, this Alltel feature is as straightforward as it can get. You take a picture and it appears on the My Pictures folder of your computer. However, you can also choose to upload it to Photobucket, Blogger, Snapfish, and Flickr. For now, the service is limited to Alltel customers using Motorola V3m, V3a, V9m and ROKR handsets for US$2.99 per month.
