Private Groups On The Go: Posterous Releases iPhone & Android Apps for Group Sharing via Mobile & Email

There is nothing worse than being left out of a group conversation.  At Posterous, we believe sharing shouldn't be limited to a particular device or with a fixed number of people.  With today's iPhone and Android releases, friends, family members and colleagues can now create and participate in a Posterous Group from their phone, the Web or via email without limitations. 

And because every group deserves a home, each Posterous Group gets its own beautiful private web site. In other words, you can communicate with members entirely by mobile and email but your group's memories are permanently archived and viewable on your group site. Posterous Groups is perfect for sharing videos with your extended family, ideas with your colleagues at work or photos from a recent road trip with your friends.  

Starting a new Posterous Group via the app couldn't be easier.

You can add members straight from your contacts. Each group member will be notified of being added to the group including an optional step of setting up a Posterous account.

Android 1.0 is a big step for Posterous, but it's only our first. We'll continue to add to our supported device list over time.  Stay tuned for new releases that leverage the full power of the Android platform including Taskbar notifications and Android Live Folders.  We'll also be adding additional file type support, an improved reading experience and full commenting.
