Mighty Excellent Posse - an Application Must Have

Once upon a time we had these quaint little objects called "Cell Phones," remember those? All these did was wirelessly connect you by voice to anybody in the world, whenever you wanted. So simple was that magic... so 1999. Now we have "Smart Phones," and phone calls are about the most boring thing you can do with them. The iPhone alone presents you a staggering number of new ways to inform and entertain yourself without ever even making one telephone call. They're called Apps, they're cheap, useful and fun, and sometimes they're even brilliant.

Take KittyCall, PuppyCall and PonyCall for example. Brand new from MightyExcellentPosse, these Apps instantly turn your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad into a messaging service for your pet. Yes, a messaging service for your kitty, puppy or pony. How good is that? Here's how it worked when we gave KittyCall a try:

With a curious kitty on hand it took us no time to get a good photo with the camera of our iPhone, which we did right from within the KittyCall application. Next we were offered with several cartoon-style "Talk Bubbles" to choose from, one pointing in each different direction, so we picked one that would fit well with our photograph. The bubble then appeared in the photo, and when we double tapped the screen a keyboard popped up, so we typed away and our message appeared right within the bubble, much like a regular text message.

Then it got downright slick. With two fingers we reshaped and resized the bubble, all the while watching our text wrap to stay within more or less whatever size we wanted to make out of it. So we were able to get our message right into the ideal spot in the picture. And with the touch of a button we had the final image sited into an email all set to send. We could have selected to send it as a text message too. All of a sudden, this little kitty was talking for us and we were hooked!

KittyCall appears to be very fashionable with kids of all ages - present company accepted - because it's so simple to use and provides an adorable new way to converse with friends. "I love you," or "Let's meet at 7:30," or "LOL I win the cute contest" (which one do you think was our message?)... all these are a great deal more fun coming from your cat.

One great thing about this App is that you don't even need the iPhone's camera. They've included a collection of sample kitty images to decide from as well as offering you one button access to the photograph library right on the phone. This makes KittyCall work absolutely on the iPod Touch and iPad, neither of which have a camera (yet!) It also made PuppyCall and PonyCall worth a try for us too, since we did not have a puppy or pony on hand! There are a number of really great images in the samples compilation of those Two Apps as well.

We can see these Apps being big hits with cat lovers, dog lovers, horseback riders, just about everybody. Especially since MightyExcellentPosse is inviting users to send in a photograph of their own pet, stating that if they choose the picture it will show up in the samples collection in a future update for all to see, with the pet's name and user's name listed. Your pet's Fifteen minutes is waiting!

One thing we wished for with each of the Apps is more variety in the styles of the talk bubbles, and more sample photos to decide from. It could only make it that much more fun. When we poked around the website for MightyExcellentPosse we found a promise to do exactly that in a future update. We'd like to take credit for that, but they were most likely working on it before we even took our first test run.

KittyCall, PuppyCall and PonyCall are perfect examples of why we love our Smart Phones more each day. With all the intricate and awesome games accessible for the iPhone, it's really wonderful to see an app that works so brilliantly and so simply, all rolled together in one very cute parcel. "Send a message to someone you love, FROM someone you love." That's what MightyExcellentPosse says. We say give it a go, you just may change the way you text from now on.
