Don’t shake hands… Bump your Iphones!appbite no image thumbnail

This free app from Bump Technologies is pretty darn good… if only I could find other people who’ve got it!

Basically it makes it easier for iPhone users to exchange their contact details by bumping their phones together.

Imagine you’re running for the train and meet someone you haven’t seen for years but really want to get back in touch with… instead of having to stand there, telling them your new details this app allows you to bump your long lost friend’s phone and like magic your details are exchanged!

The whole process is very quick, only taking a couple of seconds, but it does need a decent signal, wifi or 3G, as the contact details are stored on the Bump servers… I wonder why they didn’t just use the phone’s address book? This does raise security concerns for some users, but Bump say that everything is totally secure and encrypted.

Bump can also be used to share photos and other stuff so when I finally find someone else with it installed on their iPhone it’ll be pretty cool, I’m sure!
