an emerging leader in digital video software,announced a series of major enhancements to its acclaimed consumer service, www.FixMyMovie.com. Users can now experience one-step sharing of videos from mobile phones via MMS or email, as well as free enhancement and iPhone(R) conversion.

Videos sent to FixMyMovie are automatically enhanced up to 4x their resolution, with poor lighting conditions automatically fixed, bringing dark videos back to life. In addition, low frame-rate videos are stabilized and smoothed, and videos are converted to high-bitrate H.264 for the best possible quality.

Newly-added features allow anyone with a mobile phone to automatically send movies directly from their phone to upload@fixmymovie.com — no account on FixMyMovie.com is required. Once received, videos are automatically enhanced, and a link to the video is sent back via email or SMS. Registered users can then send the videos where they want — a single click to YouTube(R), or embed the video on MySpace(R) pages, blogs, and individual websites, or send a link to the newly-enhanced videos to any email address.

Once registered with FixMyMovie.com, new videos sent from phone or email go automatically to a personal gallery on the site, where they can be easily shared. If a user hasn’t registered, the service will create an account and email back details — ideal for first-time mobile users seeking to easily try out the service with a minimum of typing.

www.FixMyMovie.com also prepares high-resolution versions of videos for a variety of devices. This includes a high-resolution iPod(R)/iPhone(R)/AppleTV(TM) compatible version and a Microsoft(R) Windows Media(R) version of the file. Lastly, users can now grab high-resolution JPEG pictures from any video — just pause your video in FixMyMovie and hit the ‘capture’ button. The service creates a JPEG of that moment in time that surpasses the resolution of the original video. This is a great new way to get high-res photos from your videos

For calls, the Sony Ericsson W910i has a reasonable voice quality, but volume could have been louder - it is sometimes difficult to hear when there is background noise. The Walkman and general media interface of this handset has been completely redesigned and is similar to the K850i

an accelerometer auto-rotates between portrait or landscape modes. You can access and edit photos, music, videos and adjust settings, and the Sony Ericsson W910i uses a standard 3.5mm headphone jack, while the relatively large display is crisp and clear for watching video.W910i also allows you to skip tracks with the flick of your wrist using ‘Shake it!’; simply hold down the Walkman button and flick your wrist left for the previous track and right for the next track.

W910i also offers access to PlayNow, a music download service, and Track ID.A 2Mp camera with 2.5x digital zoom is included in the Sony Ericsson W910i, but its quality is poor with no auto focus or flash. There is also video recording, but this suffers from the same issues as still photography.

As i mentioned in my last post, the Location Based Services are the standard part of cell phones. your mobile knows your exact location either through GPS or by triangulating on nearby cell towers and Wi-Fi hotspots. That’s going to have big effect on how we live and do business soon.

Companies are already using location services to track mobile employees, and the retailers will be able to use them to push information out to potential customers nearby.

GPS is a double-edged sword - great for business, maybe not so much for individuals, this great service raises some basic concerns about our privacy and personal life. Do you want your boss to be able to know exactly where you are during the working day? Do you want ads blaring out of your cell phone when you’re just driving along, minding your own business?

So, let me ask a few questions to my readers.

1) When do you think location services will start to make a difference in your company, and business partners?

2) Does your company plan to use location services in its business? - How?

3) What are some potential applications for location services in business?

4) In what situations will you be willing to share location information with friends and businesses?
