Hoccer [App]
(My Original Blog Post: http://ping.fm/6mCpZ)
Today's awesome app is named Hoccer. It is available for both Android devices, as well as iPhones, and may be the coolest program of all time.
Doesn't having to transfer stuff to people suck? I hate having to e-mail something just to attach a picture, or share a song. This is where Hoccer jumps in. With Hoccer, you just need two phones somewhere around each other within 100 feet and you can actually drag it off your phone, on to their phone or throw it through the air. Easy as that, no kidding.
Hoccer uses location based file sharing. In short: You throw it, server catches it. When somebody that is in the same area as you tries to catch it, the server checks recent throws. Theoretically, this means that multiple people can catch one throw if they time it right. That I'd love to see.
A buddy of mine (also using android) and I did this on the bus. We had some issues with actual 'hoccing' (it could be because we were on a moving bus at the time) but 'sweeping' worked easily enough and he got the .apk file no problem.
I'm going to have to keep playing around with this when I have free time, I would love to throw files around all willy-nilly. Not sure how often I'd use this, but god damn if it isn't totally bad ass to show off.
