If you’ve followed the evolution of mobile technology, you can probably surmise that more text messages travel the airwaves than do voice calls these days. In fact, 2.5 billion text messages are sent each day in the USA, as we speak.
FunMail™ iPhone App, by FunMobility, is a new way to express yourself, where images match up with your text messages automatically, as you are typing the message. In other words, if you were to type “I Love You”, automatically a variety of hearts, cupids and flowers will appear for you to choose, click and send.
This visual messaging app, dubbed as “Google Image Search meets text-messaging”, features the ability to add real-time images to any text by tapping into the “Media Brain,” a learning technology that grows smarter by making insightful connections between imagery and language each time a FunMail is sent.

FunMail has recently added an Android App to the mix as well as an update to the iPhone App. Since the initial FunMail iPhone launch in November 2009, FunMail has been downloaded over 100,000 times and was ranked one of iTune’s Top 25 Social Networking applications.
“We’ve made a bold bet on enhancing consumer behavior as it relates to communication and so far it’s been a major success,” said FunMobility CEO Adam Lavine. “Android will open up the fun to many new users, handsets and operators that we previously couldn’t reach,” Lavine added.
FunMail for Android offers the same functionality of its iPhone predecessor, including the ability to add real-time images to any text by tapping into the “Media Brain,” a learning technology that grows smarter by making insightful connections between imagery and language each time a FunMail is sent. In addition,
FunMail for Android leverage’s Google’s voice-recognition technology, enabling consumers to turn spoken messages into entertaining visuals that can be easily shared via MMS.
The new update for iPhone includes a new feature that enables consumers to preview up to 20 FunMails instead of the previous 5, and also includes performance enhancements and access to new content.
Download the FunMail app by viewing Android Market™ on your Android-compatible handset or clicking http://funmail.com/android for the link. A free iPhone application is available for download at the iTunes store, or visit http://www.funmail.com for directions.
Anyone can become a FunMail artist by submitting their photography, illustrations, and most anything graphic to the visual library at http://funmail.com/design. Finally, you can test drive FunMail by visiting http://funmail.com.
If you haven’t tried this app out, it’s worth a look. It offers some unique artificial intelligence to the mix by actually being pretty darn accurate when matching images to text. It’s also fairly addicting, and will definitely not help curb your text usage. Alternatively, it’s going to open up a whole new world in media texting, and those recepients with compatable handsets will most likely join the bandwagon once they receive a message from you.
