Thats exactly the long-term direction that we want Picwing to go. Pictures are really just the beginning for us: We would love to enable applications like email, video conferencing, and more that your Grandma would be able to use in a really non-intimidating way.

Interesting. It looks like you're going after "2. Simplified Browsing" (but not just browsing) as well as "27. Hardware/software hybrids" plus at least one of the 30 different subtypes of "9. Photo/video sharing services"

number 27 definitely matched what we are doing. The beauty of hardware these days is that its not as scary as most software people thing. Hardware these days really just means low-level software.
