CyberLink gets into App business with MediaStory

Posted on 14 Jun 2010 at 12:17

CyberLink has announced MediaStory, a new slideshow creator app for iPhone, Android and Facebook.

MediaStory “allows consumers to create slideshows” from their smartphone’s photo library “in three easy steps”, the company claims. The application comes with pre-designed slideshow templates with various themes that can be applied to turn photos into animated slideshows on the fly.

These slideshows can be played back on their handset or uploaded to Facebook to share with friends.

“Smartphones today come with good quality cameras,” said Alice Chang, CEO of CyberLink. “People can conveniently snapshot images of their daily life and MediaStory gives them the convenience to turn their photos into spectacular stories presented in a stylish slideshow to share with their friends on Facebook.”

As well as the smartphone app, CyberLink has also created a version of the app for Facebook that allows users to create animated slideshows from their own Facebook photo albums.

MediaStory is available in nine languages – English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Japanese, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese and Korean – and will cost £1.19 on the Apple App Store and Android Marketplace, while the Facebook app is free.

The smartphone version comes with six pre-designed templates and the Facebook app comes with only three. Additional Facebook templates can be purchased for £0.79 each.
