How to make it easy to send vdo, pic in android?

[ssnkssnk]

Hi,
I have recently (2 months )moved from Iphone to Samsung Galaxy S 2 world. Hardware wise, sammy is miles ahead of Iphone4. But then I would be comparing a brand new technology with 18 months technology. Not fair, I guess.

Few things, I can use help on are:
In Iphone, it was easy to shoot video and send it over using email. It used to to compress the vdo in email automatiically. Same goes with pics also. Iphone would ask the size of pics you want to send. In android, these 2 very important features are missing. On Sammy, I have to record at reduced quality to be able to send it using email. I am looking for an easy way to to it while still shooting in full 720p. Same with pictures.

Another annoying thing is maintaining my music library (and some vdo MP4) using supplied Samsung KIES. Its nowhere near iTunes in its use and effectiveness.

Please let me know, if anyone knows of any app which can resolve above 3 issues.

Thanks & Regards

Hi,

Based on my few weeks experience with android. Its a very good OS (better than IOS in terms of features), but still need some work to make it more appealing to users, especially to those who are accustomed to more friendly/polished UI on IPhone.

Please let me know, if there are any apps for my questions in earlier post (i.e., music sync, vdo compression while sending it over email, pic size while sending it over email).

Thanks again.

If we're talking about sending via email, you do know that email clients have limits to the size of files you can send. Its not Android thats limiting you. GMail for instance has a 25mb limit, while Yahoo has a 15mb limit. 720p files can easily get much larger than that. a 25mb video taken with 720p . For example, on my Samsung Galaxy SL, I would have a free space of 600mb on my internal sd card, but the phone says that much space can only accomodate a 10min video recording. If you have to send 720p files, you need to send it in another method and not thru email.

Or look for a video converter app like this: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.ghostmobile.mediaconverter&feature=search_result

On Android you don't have to contend with compressed media. You can send full size files and enjoy all the benefits of not having to compromise on image or sound quality. Obviously email, with its file size limit (generally 20MB), won't do. So install one of these virtual USB-sticks/pendrives on your phone and your PC or Mac and you can send any size (and quality) files to any email address or phone number.

FREE virtual USB-sticks/pendrives that you can never lose or forget, and that can never be nicked either:

• DropBox, get 2,25GB
• SugarSync, get 5,5GB
• Minus, get 11GB

OR you can send files of any size upto 2GB for free via the web, via WeTransfer.com, or even direct from device to device using FilesOverMiles.com...

Another annoying thing is maintaining my music library (and some vdo MP4) using supplied Samsung KIES. Its nowhere near iTunes in its use and effectiveness.

So don't do it on the phone, but do that maintenance directly in iTunes on your PC or Mac, as if you were sitting in front of it, remotely from your phone with Teamviewer (free for personal use).

CAVEAT:
I do not recommend doing any of the above over a mobile phone connection. Mobile phone connections are too slow and waaay too expensive for large amounts of data. Make sure you are on a WiFi connection to the internet before you do that big data stuff (including streaming video).
