Allow users to email photos from phone?

Hi there, I am trying to create an app that will allow users to upload/email photos from their phones and submit them for a photo contest. Anyone know how this could be achieved? I can build an email form as a web page in PHP or something, and then embed that into my buzztouch app, but does anyone know how you would add a photo picker field to such a web form? Thanks for any advice!

Not sure how you would add a photo picker in the current version of buzztouch. However, we are hard at work on the next release. It was suppossed to be out already! We got a little overwhelmed (as usual) and havn't been able to complete it. We hope to have it done in the next few weeks. It does include the feature you're asking about. In v1.5, it's a matter of adding a take photo screen, then inputing the URL to post the photo to if the end user wants to upload it. Or, the user can optionally email it to any address. Send an email to info at buzztouch.com with Early Adopter in the subject line if you want sneak peaks of the new version as they are available.

Hey David, Did the Take Photo screen make it to the 1.5 early adopter version? Was going to play around with it if it's out there :) Thanks!!

It did get created but is not yet included. This is is a fancy way to say... almost done ;-) It's a matter adding a few things at a time. The Quiz screens are waiting to be added too. We'll get these and a few other surprises included in the 1.5 project soon. The feedback has been great and we've already worked out quite a few bugs so we can now begin adding more neato stuff like photo uploaders, video uploaders, etc.
