I was introduced to a person who works there. I have played with Shozu client, Vizrea client and others. PixSense has the best client. It does stuff like auto tags and auto categorization in its gallery. It doesnt sync yet from server to phone but I understand its coming. Whats more important, I was told they havent taken in a dime of investment money unlike the other companies and their beta was launched in February. Im not sure if they are looking for funding but it seems they could do allot w/ what the other companies have been funded at. They have an impressive team also.

Where does all this money go to? Is it transferred in their bankaccount as a whole? Do they really need that much money? At first sight the technology seems fairly simple and with a small team of 20 developers you can realise it easily. Or is there something I don't get?

As soon as you take a photo, you have the option of sending the picture to flickr.com - one button click, and you're done. Doesn't get much easier than that.

Most photo sharing sites are a mere step away from adding an auto sync option. One thing these guys miss is that they assume your computer is always going to be your master vault of all your photos or content! This is not always the case, I have lots of photos that I may upload to Flickr that I then delete from my own computer, because I either don't want them or need them or don't want to waste space. With sharpcast, they are mere offering a sync between your computer and the web, sort of what www.foldershare.com does right now for free.
