Kindle news: YouSendIt, Inc. announces custom app built for Kindle Fire - Update

YouSendIt app for Kindle Fire released today

Broadcast Newsroom brings a press release from YouSendIt about their new "BYOD" (Bring Your Own Device to the workplace) app released today with "three new productivity features" making it "even easier to access content and collaborate on the go"

Mihir Nanavati, VP of product management for YouSendIt says, "... users can view files, sign documents and share files and folders from Kindle Fire..."

Clicking on either image takes you to the Amazon Android Appstore page for the product.  "When users download the app from Amazon [it's free at this point]  and sign up within 30 days of today, YouSendIt will give them unlimited e-signatures on their Kindle Fire for the lifetime of their YouSendIt account.

"Users can quickly sign any document and securely send it -- without having to print, scan, fax or ship it."

  YouSendIt also added new features to its Android smartphone application available in other Android marketplaces.

Advantages noted:

• Add files from a memory card/local folder -- NEW
• Open files from the YouSendIt app in other apps and edit them -- NEW
• Quickly act on files via new action bar -- NEW
• Move files from other applications to YouSendIt
• Securely send a file, share a folder, sign a file and preview files
• Manage folder permissions such as adding and removing users from shared folders

I'd say that the decision to try this one is a no-brainer.  If fees attached at a later date are unwelcome, the app can be deleted.

(Update: In addition, they offer for businesses needing to comply with BYOD policies, Workstream by YouSendIt, which includes procedures for "including application-level passcode protection, remote wipe and blacklist/whitelisting for sharing content. In addition, Workstream encrypts data on the device, in transit and at rest.")
