Vayyoo Inc let me know that their recently updated vPost application for BlackBerry is now available in MobiHand stores and the BlackBerry App World.

From the description:

vPost lets you capture and email any combination of Pictures, Video, Audio Notes, Text & GPS location using an extremely powerful and simple interface. Once you capture any combination of media you can send it via email to friends, family, colleagues, blogs and social networks. Without vPost it can take over 5 minutes to compose an email with 2 pictures, an audio note, and GPS location. With vPost this task can be done in less than a minute with no hassles. Try vPost today and start sending rich-media to anyone and everyone!

WHEN TO USE IT:

• file a life experience by emailing it to yourself
• share it with close friends while it is happening
• send it to social networks to share with wider circle of friends
• annotate pictures with a voice recording of what actually happened
• send events real time to news agencies (CNN, BBC, etc.)
