Andy Abramson One of the companies at DEMO that really rang my bell was DeviceScape out of San Bruno, CA. While some are panning what they have to offer, by pointing out the shortlist of devices it runs on, I see nothing but good in what they are doing. In simple terms they make getting on a … Read more
I’m not as bullish as some on the idea of sharing my broadband so I can share someone else’s connectivity while I’m traveling. It looks like Glenn isn’t either, but we have different takes on why. First many of the the terms of service agreements outright prohibit the act of “sharing” your bandwidth. Second when … Read more
Glenn Fleishman knows his WiFi so it’s worth checking out his story at MacWorld on the iPhone for his perspective on convergence. Reports I’m hearing about the iPhone is that Apple has been bitten hard by Cingular/AT&T the same way the Nokia E62 was. In the words of one friend, castrated is a better term. … Read more

Stuart has always been one of my favorite barometers about Skype and if they are on the right, or wrong track. In his post this past week he nails the problems with their new pricing plans right on the head. What’s more, this is not new thinking. Jeremy Wagstaff of the Wall Street Journal and … Read more
As many long time readers of VoIPWatch know, I got engaged back in 2005 and am deep in planning for the 2007 Summer Wedding. Well just last week I learned that my very dear friend and wine loving pal Scott Kargman, the number two guy for many years inside Pulver.com has managed to pull off … Read more
I’m at the DEMO conference and one point that has to be made about all the news coverage, and there is plenty is that there is difference between a demo and a demo of a live product. A lot of companies here are on a dream path. They have an idea. They get a web … Read more
