Rediff claims that the iShare platform boasts of an easy-to-use utility tool, which users can install on their personal computers and upload multiple files even at low-speed without having to worry about the source of the file. Users will be able to upload pictures and videos made in mobile phones, digicam, digital camcorder, and music from mp3 players like ipods, it aded.
