Nose Photography Apps

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

NosePost Saves Your Fingers from Freezing When You Want to Take an Image

— February 16, 2015 — Tech
A cold winter day and frequent phone use just don't pair well together—but this is where the NosePost app becomes useful. Developed by Dutch telecom provider KPN, NosePost saves you from having to buy a pair of touchscreen gloves to use with your phone. Rather than requiring fingers to work onscreen, NosePost has big buttons for taking photos and sharing them online.

As unconventional an idea as this is, it's being used to promote the EU weekly data bundle from KPN, which makes it easy for people to get access to mobile Internet while enjoying a winter holiday. Although you might get some funny looks while using the NosePost app in public, at least there's no chance of you getting frostbitten fingers while trying to perfect a shot for Instagram.
