Bump™ makes sharing with people as simple as bumping two phones together. Just pick what you want to send, then hold your phones and gently bump hands with another Bump user. And now, you can message with your friends who aren't near you — just add them as a friend inside of Bump and start messaging immediately — it's kind of like a long-distance "virtual bump".

After you've bumped or added a friend on the Bump system, you can send messages anytime, complete with instant push notifications.

Share photos, music, messages, locations, contacts, calendar events; become friends on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn; compare mutual friends, and more.

Bump works cross-platform between iPhone, iPad, iPod, and many other phones.

+ Send messages to friends who aren't near you by adding them as a friend inside of Bump — it's kind of like a long-distance "virtual bump".

What's new in version 2.2:
