Rachel Levy: Social Media & Marketing

I found out about these cool iPhone apps on Twitter, and wanted to share! They’re created by a company called JumiTech, who makes these 2 apps and a few more that I’m not using.

JumiTech just gave me free coupon codes for 10 for each app, so if you want one, either Tweet or update your Facebook Status about this post, and send me an email specifying which app you want the code for, and I’ll send it to you. rachel (at) rachel-levy (dot) com.

JumiMouse+

This app basically allows you to completely take over your computer right from your iPhone.  You can find files, access apps you don’t have on your iPhone, or access Skype video!  If you ever forget something at home or at the office, you can access it using the JumiMouse.  You can also use it as a mouse for your laptop when you don’t have  a full-sized mouse available.

The price of this app is$3.99, which in the world of iPhone apps, is quite expensive.  But when I step back and think about $4, it’s really not that much money!

JumiCam

This app is basically a “nanny cam”, and streams your webcam to  your iPhone.  So far, I’ve only used it to spy on my dog Stella, but can see other uses for it, including watching parts of a meeting when you have to leave (as JumiTech suggests on their website).  The big downside versus a real “nanny cam” is that your webcam is static, so you can’t scan  a room to see what is going on.  It has to be positioned correctly when you leave your computer.  In addition, it doesn’t allow for audio capability (correction: It DOES do audio!). Setup is easy, and it takes just a few seconds to connect, and you have a live stream from your iPhone.

But, the price is right — it’s only $4.99, which is much less expensive than a traditional “nanny cam”!

What do you think of these apps?  Can you think of ways these might be a benefit?
