uReach's Personal Media (PM) application gives your subscribers a service they can use, and it makes it easy to share and publish user-generated media in real time (snap 'n go). PM provides every subscriber with a camera phone the ability to experience high-end multimedia sharing without the cost of a smartphone. Having a place for your subscribers to back up their media provides security and peace of mind. Now, with your carrier-branded, carrier-centric service you can keep your subscribers in-network and reduce the use of off-deck solutions, minimizing costly customer care issues. Additionally, the Personal Media application increases exposure to carrier-selected marketing and branding drives loyalty and ad-supported revenues. This application is built on a carrier-grade IMS solution that seamlessly integrates into existing and next-generation networks.

| Media Library |  |
The library is a convenient and secure place to store photos, audio files, and video files. Each type of media is stored separately and allows simple editing and other interactions. All items sent into PM are always kept safe in the Media Library, unless the subscriber specifically deletes them. The Media Library itself is private, not shared, though any item in the Library can be shared via shared albums or other channels.

| Many Ways to Save Media | |
PM supports multiple methods of storing media. Items, including pictures, audio files, and videos, can be directly "uploaded" from the PM web interface; they can be sent into PM from any e-mail account, provided that the account is on the "allowed list" for the PM Library; or they can be sent directly via MMS from the subscriber's phone. Since PM takes advantage of existing MMS clients and servers, as well as standard e-mail, no special client software is needed to use PM and it can work with any PC or handset that supports the media.

| Shared Albums | |
For anyone wanting to share photos via the internet, PM supports creation of shared "Albums". These albums can contain any mix of Photos, Videos, or Audio files and can be shared via the internet. To share an album, the subscriber sends an invitation to share via the PM service and the recipient of that e-mail can then click on a link to view the content of the album.
|
| Publishing to Channels | |
PM offers an additional way to share photos with friends. The service allows direct publishing onto social networks such as Facebook or MySpace. PM can also directly send photos to printing services such as Snapfish or Ofoto. PM does this using "Channels". Once set up, the channels directly publish photos using a "Widget" for services that support that, or they can provide RSS feeds to other locations. For photo printing sites, PM can directly mail photos to the desired service, or to anyone else.
