Pixorial poised to launch mobile video apps

Pixorial, a video sharing startup streamlining the process of sharing video from any format to anywhere online, is poised to release both Android and iPhone apps sometime either this month or January at the latest, the company tells us. The mobile apps will enable users to capture and/or upload video to their Pixorial library, which will be entirely accessible via the cloud. Editing and effects capabilities will be added in a later update. (Scroll down to see a few screenshots of the upcoming apps.) Pixorial is not a destination site like Vimeo or YouTube, however, as company co-founder and CEO Andres Espiñeira insists. I had a chance to sit down with Espiñeira recently and, besides watching a few of his childhood videos, we talked about what Pixorial really is: a company that wants to help people get their videos (whether they’re stored on 8mm or a cell phone) to the cloud and, ultimately, to the eyes of family and friends on Facebook.
