iPhone Users Can Now Share Songs by ‘Bumping’

Move over, Apple’s Ping, and Twitter. Bump Technologies would like to share some songs, as well.

Version 2.2 of the Bump iPhone app allows users to “bump” iPhones together to share songs. Users can either play the songs for free via YouTube, or either preview or then purchase them from Apple’s iTunes store.

Bump also added support for the Chinese and Korean languages.

At press time, only version 1.3.2 was available via the Android Market where, interestingly enough, several recent commenters expressed interest for a version of the app that could share music by bumping. “Bumping” data between two phones requires both of them to be running the Bump app, then to gently make contact with both phones.

Bump has been previously integrated into PayPal for both the iPhone and Android, although the iPhone version appears to be more advanced. Version 2.0 of the app let users send calendar invitations, connect on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn, and even maintain a persistent “bump” connection without the need to be physically next to one another. It also added unlimited photo and contact sharing.

The new version of the Bump app was previously reported by Mashable.
