KAYAC recently had a notable U.S. debut at the annual SXSW music tradeshow in Austin, TX, where it showcased Photobag, a signup-free app service that allows users to select photos that they want to share with other mobile devices through a user generated access code, and MusicParty, which allows a user’s friends to share music through Bluetooth or wireless to their iPhone. Photobag is downloadable from the iTunes App Store and the Android Market. The MusicParty app is available in the iTunes App Store. KAYAC also developed Nakamap, a free app for iPhone and Android handsets that provides real-time geo-location sharing and group chat. The company also has developed a range of useful apps for the U.S. market and plans more releases this summer.
