To send your PhotoBulb , you can use the application for Apple iPhone Mad Ideas that we wrote for the occasion and already available on the Appstore. The application, as well as allowing you to take and send your photo, you can read the latest news on Mad Ideas project directly from the iPhone.
Alternatively, for those who still do not have an "iPhone by," I realized a simulator in Adobe Flash that plays, roughly, the same functionality as click and send
