SoftBank Group
announced that its BB Softservice is preloading SugarSync on New Panasonic
Lumix and Sharp Aquos Android Camera Phones to enable the automatic sync of
mobile photos from phones to computers.
SugarSync is a
free service, which was launched in 2008. After the installation it actively
syncs files across all your computers and devices.
“As the
cameras on smartphones become more advanced, and as more of us use our
smartphones as our primary point-and-shoot cameras, most people need a simple
solution for getting photos off of their phone and back to their
computers,” said
Laura Yecies, CEO of SugarSync.
Installed in
Panasonic Lumix phone 101P and Sharp Aquos phone 102SH, SugarSync app makes
easier for users to back up and share their mobile photos directly from the
devices.
With
SugarSync’s AutoSync technology on these phones, the app automatically syncs
all the pictures taken from the phone to the paired computer at pre-set intervals.
Additionally,
SugarSync’s free service gives users the ability to access, sync and share all
of their digital files, including files, music, movies and photos.
If a SoftBank
Mobile subscriber is not already a SugarSync user, they can tap the preloaded
app on their new device and sign up for a free 5GB SugarSync account. If more
storage space is needed, they can upgrade to one of SugarSync’s paid accounts,
which start at $5 a month.
The preloading
of SugarSync on the new Panasonic Lumix and Sharp Aquous camera phones is an
expansion of SugarSync’s existing distribution deal with BBSS, which
distributes SugarSync throughout Japan.
SoftBank Mobile
has already begun shipping the Sharp Aquous Phone 102SH and it will be shipping
the Panasonic Lumix Phone Softbank 101P in the near future.
Recently,
Softbank Mobile announced that it selected Ericsson to prepare for an expected increase
in traffic by implementing Ericsson’s Evolved Packet Core (EPC) solution.
