VERIZON WIRELESS AND COLOR INTRODUCE LIVE VIDEO SHARING ON
FACEBOOK
Share Spontaneous Moments on America's Largest 4G LTE Network
NEW ORLEANS, BASKING RIDGE, N.J. and PALO ALTO, Calif. Verizon
Wireless customers can use their smartphones to share live video
broadcasts of life's special moments with their Facebook® friends
using Color, a free social camera application, the companies announced
today.
Color highlights the power of video on Verizon Wireless' 4G LTE
network, giving customers with a wide range of smartphones the ability
to broadcast up to 30 seconds of live video and share the important
moments in their daily lives at blazing speeds. Verizon Wireless
customers will also have access to an exclusive audio feature to add
sound to their broadcasts.
Friends and fans receive a notification on their devices when one
of their friends starts broadcasting live video and audio. Concerts,
sporting events, road trips and other special moments can all be
shared live.
Using Color, batch photo uploads to Facebook are an easy and fast
way to share multiple photos from a phone's camera roll to any
Facebook album. Customers can pick the best photos, choose or create a
new album, and share with any group or all of their friends on
Facebook with a single tap.
"Verizon Wireless' 4G LTE network is a huge opportunity for
creating new applications," said Bill Nguyen, chief executive
officer of Color. "The performance, coverage and features
available on Verizon Wireless' 4G LTE network establish a new platform
for creativity; it is revolutionary for app developers. Color plans to
develop additional features exclusively with Verizon Wireless to
showcase its 4G LTE network."
"Color is an amazing team dreaming up creative ways for
people to share even more using smartphones," said Kristi Crum,
executive director, Consumer Solutions at Verizon Wireless. "This
app, which highlights the speed and immediacy of video over 4G LTE, is
just the first step in what we will deliver for Verizon Wireless
customers."
Availability and pricing
Verizon Wireless customers can dial "**COLOR" to
download the app, or download it from a number of app stores. The app
is free, and other charges will apply according to a customer's data
package.
