Bump 2.0 Is Live, Adds Social Networks, Wireless Photo Transfer
Bump, the innovative mobile app that lets you exchange contact information by bumping your phone together with someone else's, just announced the availability of version 2.0 in the iTunes app store. The app is newly redesigned and has added some features that are simply awesome.
The app uses your phone's location and accelerometer features to send a signal to the Bump server whenever the app is running and your phone shakes. If Bump detects that two users have their phones jostled in the same place, at the same time, the service presumes those two people want to exchange contact info. It's a great little system, and with the new version users can do even more.
Bump has already proven itself the easiest way to replace business cards - and actually save peoples' info - between smartphone users. Now it's even more powerful. The company opened its mobile data sharing API to the world in February, but there's something to be said for advanced features right inside one single app.
Bump 2.0 is an upgrade to the existing app, or can be downloaded via iTunes at this link. Bump 2.0 for Android will be released later this Summer, the company says.

There's another trick with Bumper: Install in on your iPhone and on your iPad, from then on you may send pictures to yourself - from the iPhone to the iPad :-)
