The Mobile Fun Blog

FunMobility is America’s largest mobile content community, used by 27 different companies, and on 550 handsets. With almost 76,700,000 customers, when the team announces something, people listen. Enter FunTweet, a Twitter client that adds images to one’s tweet based on keywords found within the tweet.

With the slew of tablets in tow for this year, one has got to fit the bill for everyone, eventually. Some people are pissing themselves in anticipation for the iPad. Those who want better hardware, and you know,  Flash support ( as unimportant as it may be to some), are looking to  other tablets, such as Notion Ink’s Adam or Dell’s Streak. Yet another tablet has been announced, and was displayed at CeBit this year- Huawei’s SmaKit S7, another Android tablet coming at some point this summer.

If you’re looking for an iPhone application to share photos across your social networks, you may want to give TweetPhoto a roll.

The site just got an overhaul – which prominently features photos of the Full House cast – and this new iPhone app makes it pretty simple to share pictures across Twitter, MySpace, Facebook, or Foursquare accounts. I downloaded the free app TweetPhoto Pro and it looks pretty good: it has a clean interface that makes it quick to scan your friends’ photo streams, as well as public or popular photos. Signing up is easy, and TechCrunch says we can expect versions for Android and BlackBerry (NSDQ: RIMM) soon enough.

Web-based photo editing suite Picnik announced today that it has been acquired by Google for an unspecified amount that Picnik CEO Jonathan Sposato called a “very, very happy number.”

The startup opened in 2005 and was chosen to be Flickr’s default photo editor in 2007 when Yahoo was introducing a host of new features to the popular photo sharing site. Long before Adobe released its Web-based version of Photoshop, Picnik was already going strong.

During an interview with ZDNet, Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT) gave some more details about Windows Phone Starter Edition and it could be a good choice for handset vendors targeting emerging markets.

Windows Phone 7 Series captured everyone’s attention when Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT) unveiled the more consumer-friendly smartphone platform destined to succeed the mobile OS dinosaur we know as Windows Mobile 6.5, but that doesn’t mean Microsoft is going hands-off on Windows Mobile just yet. Seeing as how Windows Mobile still has several more months to go before getting one-upped by Windows Phone 7, Microsoft apparently thought it prudent to make their Windows Marketplace for Mobile a little more appealing. Windows Mobile apps from the Marketplace can now be installed directly on memory cards.

As if we didn’t have enough handsets at which to gawk throughout Mobile World Congress, Acer has dumped a pile of Android and Windows phones onto the table. The Liquid E is a moderate refresh on the already-popular Liquid, including Android 2.1, and keeps the delicious Snapdragon processor. The E110 was a tiny, lower-end Android handset – the size (103.5 mm x 54 mm x 13.4 mm) was almost as impressive as Sony Ericsson’s X10 Mini, and will probably be a helluva lot cheaper. It’s running Android 1.6 with a few customized user interface elements, and packs 3G, a 2.8” QVGA display, 3 megapixel camera, and 1500 mAh battery.

Seeing as how none of us will be visiting Korea any time soon to try out Motorola (NYSE: MOT)’s first Android device in that market, we thought we’d check it out at Mobile World Congress. The Motoroi (XT720) was announced last month, with an impressive spec line: 3.6” WVGA display, 8 megapixel camera, Wi-Fi, GPS, HDMI-out, TMB mobile TV, pinch-zooming, and Android 2.0. There was talk that the Motoroi would be coming to North America, but the folks I talked to around the booth predictably denied the possibility.

SPB Software announced that an updated version (5.0) of their highly-popular SPB Mobile Shell app will be launched at the Mobile World Congress. The good news is that it will no longer be a “Windows Mobile thing,” only — in addition to Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT)’s mobile OS, the company will also release its UI software/platform for Symbian S60 and Android platforms.

We don’t have all the details, but we do know few things:

• It will feature 3D interface

Even though dating should be about having fun and meeting new people, it’s also about finding out if this person is potential mate material. I mean you want to know if the person sitting across from you has had serious run-ins with the law or has picked their nose since age seven. Thanks to this new iPhone and Android app, you might not be able to check about the nose picking habit, but you can get the deets on just about everything else.
