NEW STUDY REVEALS SUCCESS OF KNOCKING™ LIVE PIC SHARING DEVELOPED BY SOURCEBITS

Sourcebits Enables Pointy Heads Software to Launch a Top 50 iPhone Application

BANGALORE, India – December 22, 2009 – Sourcebits, one of the world’s top destinations for iPhone, Mac, Android and Web software development, today revealed a case study that outlines their approach to developing a highly successful photo sharing iPhone application, Knocking™ Live Pic Sharing, for Pointy Heads Software. The study explores the critical role that Sourcebits played in the development of Knocking Live Pic Sharing, an easy-to-use photo sharing tool where users can share extensive albums without long download times. Knocking Live Pic Sharing launched on the App Store in November 2009 and was listed in the Top 50 iPhone Apps just two days following its debut. In the first four weeks since the application launched, over 20,000 units of Knocking Live Pic Sharing were downloaded from the iPhone App Store.

Pointy Heads Software, an independent software development company that specializes in iPhone application development, sought to create a streamlined photo sharing application for the iPhone platform that could overcome the limitations of the current multimedia messaging service (MMS), which only allows users to send up to five photos at a time through a painstakingly slow sending process. Brian Meehan, co-founder of Pointy Heads Software, partnered with Sourcebits in August 2009 to develop a solution to solve this complex technical challenge.

By partnering with Sourcebits, Pointy Heads Software was able to launch the well-received Knocking Live Pic Sharing photo sharing iPhone application that successfully leverages a combination of wireless technologies, an innovative design and unparalleled user experience.

“The Sourcebits team not only presented us with a creative solution for surpassing the iPhone’s ‘five image’ barrier, they also delivered a world-class development experience that allowed us to continue to keep focused on the objective of the application throughout the development process,” said Brian Meehan, co-founder of Pointy Heads Software.

Knocking Live Pic Sharing is available for free on the App Store. To download the app, visit: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id335489277?mt=8
