Andy Abramson I wanted to let everyone know that Counterpath’s EyeBeam is now working under Apple’s New OS, Snow Leopard. It seemed the special build I had received was a custom version and the update needed a different license key. Their support people have been very helpful and I commend them for taking such swift action on … Read more
In my mind this year’s Fall IT Expo was a success. The floor was full of people, the conference sessions seemed to be close to what I’ve seen before, and the additions of Jon Arnold’s Smart Grid and Carl Ford’s 4GWE sub-conferences brought out new folks to the event.

I received a comment from Counterpath that they updated Eyebeam and mentioned it somewhere in their forum that the softphone application has been updated to work with Eyebeam.

A few weeks ago I tried to order a Verizon Wireless Novatel Wireless MiFi from Amazon for my wife as a birthday present. I was tipped off to the pricing deal of one cent by Gizmo’s Michael Robertson and felt since I was going to order one for her, the price savings was worth buying … Read more

If I wasn’t already committed to matters on the west coast the week of September 14th I’d be heading to New York for the second in a series of conferences on HD Communications put on by Jeff Pulver. While for many, HD communications is a niche, it’s just like VoIP and SIP were ten years … Read more
