Hi everybody, I just wanted to let you know that last week CounterPath expanded it’s Bria offering on the iPad. I’ve been using this since the summer and it’s brilliant. I’m able to make calls via my iPad when my phone doesn’t have any service but my iPad is picking up wifi. In this new [...]
Vimeo and Vlingo From Pepcom at CES ’12 in Las Vegas
Pepcom also known as Mobile Focus was held Monday before CES opened. It was the biggest I’ve ever seen it and I was a bit overwhelmed by the magnitude of it. It was like a little trade show unto itself. Anyways, I was able to snag Vlingo’s CEO Dave Grannan for a quick video. Come [...]

I don’t know if you’ve noticed but I feel like AT&T service for all their niggles has gotten faster and more reliable. I was thinking about this just last week. I drove by a street corner where I used to drop calls most of the time but guess what, no dropped call. I was at [...]

Skype Is Now Giving Nimbuzz The Boot

It was inevitable but still disappointing. Skype is heading toward an IPO so it seems as if it’s tying up any loose ends but truth [...]

It’s called In2Pay. I have spoken about this in the past and even got interviewed [...]
