I... I just don't get it. So you can send 30 "full quality" photos at once? Is there anyone who's really thinking, "you know what I need right now? The ability to send my friends higher resolution photos in parallel!"<p>I can already MMS high res photos to groups at a time. I can already upload high res photos to Facebook, email them out at very high res, and transfer them to my computer at original quality. The bandwidth limits in their plan levels are silly considering they're all way over my 3G bandwidth cap and I can <i>already</i> send original quality photos over wifi.<p>I hope that this is just a first iteration and we'll be seeing further products and services from these guys soon.

What I don't get is what this means:<p>"Previously, you’d have to queue up each one individually. Now, you can send up to 30 photos at a time in full quality, again over 3G or WiFi."<p>What is "previously" and what does "at once" mean?<p>The bandwidth available over the period of the transfer gives you a fixed amount of data that can be transfered, regardless of what and how you transfer it. If it's 30 pictures one after the other or all "at once", you'll still need the same time to get all your pictures uploaded.<p>So what is the big thing here? Do they use some magic trick to optimize the bandwidth available?<p>The lack of details on that and sentences like "couple that powerful photo transfer ability with the fact that you can send any type of file to anyone and you’ll better understand why Kicksend has caught our attention" (don't we have dozens of ways to send any kind of file to anyone?) gave me the feeling that this was just pushing the product on basis other than its real merits…

What is the underlying technology here? Some UDP based protocol?

Either they created more bandwidth where there is none or this is really an announcement how their app can now do uploads in parallel. Woohoo! You finished the tutorial level, you may continue.
