Our buddy Kyle at BBCool let me know that vPost is now out of private beta. In case you don’t remember vPost is a media uploading application that lets you easily send any combination of pictures, video, audio, text, and GPS via email. It essentially simplifies attaching these things to an email by bypassing RIM’s servers. The cool part is that you can use this ability to send images or even blog posts via email to systems that support it like Picasa & WordPress that allow uploading via email. The application is available right now as a $9.99 one time charge in the store and they have a free trial available which I recommend you check out first. if you are curious about the functionality I would recommend checking out their FAQ which explains most of it. The major caveat is that vPost will only support the Storm in March.
From the description:
vPost lets you capture and email any combination of Pictures, Video, Audio Notes, Text & GPS location using an extremely powerful and simple interface. Once you capture any combination of media you can send it via email to friends, family, colleagues, blogs and social networks. Without vPost it can take over 5 minutes to compose an email with 2 pictures, an audio note, and GPS location. With vPost this task can be done in less than a minute with no hassles. Try vPost today and start sending rich-media to anyone and everyone!
