Bump Technologies has released an update to its sharing app for the iPhone and iPod touch introducing the ability for users to share App Store links for their favorite installed apps. Using Bump, users can share information such as photos, music, contacts, appointments, locations and social networking info from their iOS device with any nearby friend simply by bumping devices together. Users simply open the Bump app, select an item to share and then bump or shake their devices to initiate a connection and transfer the information. For content such as music and iOS apps, Bump simply transfers metadata and a link to the iTunes Store or YouTube for music or the App Store for iOS applications. Bump 2.4 is available from the App Store as a free download.
