iPhone Users Won’t Care Much About Google Voice

November 22, 2010

Google Voice came to the iPhone last week. After a few posts it was just a little blip. Today it doesn’t feature in most downloaded or what’s hot in the App store and I’m not surprised. GoogleVoice remains US centric and relevant to a small cadre of users. So the big question is… should you [...]

Finally I’m getting to my eComm posts and notes. On the third day, AR or Augmented Reality came to eComm America2010 in the form of ARConf.  I know many of the telecom crowd didn’t stick around for day three and I feel they missed out big time.

Skype and iPhone 4.0 – Watch everyone now scramble….Telecoms and Social Networks

April 8, 2010

For the first time in a long while it almost appears Skype is on a trajectory to really change the world. It took Apple rather than Skype to figure it out. While Apple dragged their feet on early VoIP apps running in the background they built up a user base that can potentially carry Skype [...]

Skype Developers Long Ago Moved On. — We are looking for the next thing.
