Popular and Free Jared Company Screen Grabber App Now Available for Android

We are happy to announce the release today on Android the free Screen Grabber app, a flexible screen-capture app that allows users to share screen shots of anything on the screen with just a couple of clicks.

The screen shots are automatically sent to a new picture file called Screen Grabs, ready to be emailed, tweeted and posted to Facebook easily and quickly. Screen Grabber reduces file size for quick sending, and allows users to opt for high-resolution screen shots.

The Jared Company’s Screen Grabber for Android operates free of watermarks, advertising and upgrade reminders.

JaredCo founder and CEO Steven Kader said that the app was designed with productivity in mind, as sharing the screen shots is much easier than with other screen capture apps.

“No matter what is on your screen–pictures, icons, maps, tools, contacts, addresses, tweets, posts, web pages, and more—Screen Grabber for Android stores it in one place, making it easily found and shared,” he said. “It makes the Android device more versatile and functional.”

Not only that, the app syncs seamlessly—download and it’s ready to go.

Screen Grabber also is available for Blackberry and iOS devices.

Download The Jared Company’s Screen Grabber for Android at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jaredco.screengrabber. It is currently available for Samsung S3 and Galaxy Tab 2 with OS 4.0.

New Free JaredCo Blackberry® App Emails Location of Lost Phone with Low Battery

The Jared Company, a leading creator of smartphone apps, has released what may be the most useful free app for the forgetful Blackberry® user—Last Ditch Beacon sends an email with the last-known location of the Blackberry, when the battery is down to 10 percent.

According to JaredCo, 30 percent of lost or misplaced Blackberry smartphones have dead batteries. Most tracking apps need to communicate with the device in order to find them, which is impossible once the battery is drained.

Using the Blackberry GPS, Last Ditch Beacon sends an email with the last known location of the device, even if it’s low on juice—complete with a Google map link showing the approximate location.

Other features of Last Ditch Beacon:

• Last Ditch Beacon works on all BlackBerry models.
• Even though Last Ditch Beacon is FREE, JaredCo provides total support.

Dolphin Browser now Available for BlackBerry Playbook

This is a really nice browser on the iPhone, so I tried it on the PlayBook to see if I could recommend it over the native browser.   The features are great, but it is running in the Android player so for now the performance isn’t high enough to make it better than using the regular browser.   I’ll keep an eye on it but can’t recommend using it yet.
