Giving your messages more Zap.   I’m Fred Fishkin with technology BootCamp, a report on gadgets and gear.     Everybody likes to take out their phone these days and show off their pictures…selfies and non-selfies.   An app called ZapVM lets you add the same kind of narration to photo messages…that you’d be describing in person.   Co-founder Ross Smith…

“I’ve been sending text messages going back to Instant Messenger and Yahoo Messenger for a long, long time, but nothing ever was able to synthesize your images and your narration and all these things into one convenient way where you could actually send that as a cohesive and coherent message.   By exploiting the power of the GPU, we’re able to render all this into a single message that changes how you communicate.”

ZapVM is iOS only for now…and while simple to use, it is versatile and powerful.  The free version limits your messages to 30 seconds.  Zap plus which lets you go longer is priced at  4.99.   You can find us at BootCamp.com.   I’m Fred Fishkin.
