We've all struggled with the annoying problem of having to input information for new contacts. Each time, users have to create a new contact and manually input each telephone number, address, and photo for every new person. Bump is attempting to solve that issue and it does an excellent job. Users open the application, create a contact card to share, choose what information they want to trade an then simply bump hands together. All of the hard work is done right away by the application.



The system works by creating a small encrypted connection with a server and then uses location data to determine if there is another device attempting to share. The result is a seamless transfer of information by simply bumping hands together. This is extremely handy for users who have an iPhone or iPod Touch. No longer will users have to spend pointless amounts of time typing in information. At the moment, the app only allows transfer of contact information. With technology as smooth and developed as this, it would be great to possibly see transfer of photos or other existing contacts.



Overall, this app worked perfectly and really would speed the process up if adopted by the mass of users. I definitely recommend it. It solves many contact issues and has a fun interaction to go along with it. Now if only more transfer material would be added, we'd have a winner for an app. The app is free in the app store. Check it out.
