Kevin and the gang at Crackberry broke the Hippopost app earlier today, and I must say if this app has some longevity it will certainly be great. The Hippopost app gives you the ability to take a photo with your BlackBerry, and send it as a physical postcard to any recipient for only $0.00 – yeah that’s right…FREE! They do this by placing sponsor ads on each postcard.
Currently postcards in Canada are being sent, as the creators of this app are former RIM employees. They will start shipping stateside beginning October 15th. Hippopost integrates seamlessly with your Contacts to pull addresses. This is a free app that can be downloaded at http://mobile.hippopost.com from your mobiles browser.
Now this gives me something to do with all my photos from weekly trips to the Zoo!
Adrian is 28 years old and lives in Newark, Ohio with his wife Katie, 14-month old son Cooper, and two cats Tyson & Samar. He is a claims adjuster for State Farm Auto Insurance, and he has also worked in their systems department. He was a computer science major at Mt. Vernon Nazarene University, where he also played baseball. He quickly realized that he did not like writing code or script, which is why he changed both majors and schools, graduating from Franklin University with a BS in Business and minor in HR Management.
Adrian has been a gadget enthusiast as far back as he can remember, and his wife might say that he spends more time in Best Buy than he does with her. In his spare time he likes to spend time with his new little family, reading, watching baseball, and assistant coaching on his high school varsity baseball team. He is also in the process of deciding if he is ready for the transition from PC to Mac, as he's sure many of you can relate.
