By: ProxToMe “We worked fast to have our Android application ready in time for SXSW in order to disrupt and break down the current proximity barriers and offer attendees, presenters, bands and everyone else with the opportunity to experience local proximity interaction,” ProxToMe’s proprietary proximity engine today utilizes Facebook profiles to identify known and unknown users and accurately detect all ProxToMe users within 250 feet either outdoor or indoor. Once nearby users are identified, individuals can instantly distribute digital content, anything from documents to full length movies, Dropbox to Dropbox in less than two seconds to one or thousands of people at once with no limitations on the type and size of the file. ProxToMe utilizes Bluetooth technology rather than GPS and will not drain battery power and no gestures, pre-set contacts or shared folders are needed. “Since we love Android users we have been heads down coding to ensure that we are able to launch ProxToMe on Android just two weeks after our initial iPhone launch,” said Andrea Motto, CTO of ProxToMe. “Android users will now be able to utilize our proximity engine to spark up new conversations and share files with both Android and iPhone for effective real-time interaction (http://www.proxtome.com) between people in local proximity with no barriers at all.” All files sent using ProxToMe are saved in a Dropbox folder entitled “ProxToMe” The following features have been added to the Android: · Incoming file preview is available even if the user is not connected to Dropbox · Additional Dropbox information is available such as thumbnails, size and last update · Incoming files can be deleted directly from the chat view · Dates and times are visible within the chat view · Files can be navigated within the incoming folders ProxToMe has been in Austin for the past two weeks preparing for SXSW.
