Motorola drops device exclusivity from Droid Zap photo sharing app

Would Twitter, Instagram or Vine be any fun if you
couldn't participate in the social experience? No,
probably not. This is the problem that Motorola's Droid
Zap had: it was a unique, localized photo-sharing
service that left non-Droid owners out to dry. Users of
any Android phone could call up the app and see what
other users in a 1,000-foot radius were sharing, but
were barred from sharing anything unless their device
was Droid-branded. Now, Motorola is finally letting
other phone owners become part of the conversation,
opening the app's photo-sharing features to all Android
devices. Unfortunately, the full experience still isn't
available to everyone: the new Zap Zone feature (a
timed, live and shared photo album) is exclusive to
Droid devices, as is the ability to send videos and
regular files. Still, with the ability to participate at least
a little, non-Droid users finally have a reason to try the
app.
