I attended the bi - Annual CTIA Mobility conference in San Francisco on Thursday Sept 12th 2008. The conference seemed smaller than in the past. However I did see one or two interesting companies at the event:
Voice On The Go - This is a Canadian company that offers consumers access to their email by voice from Mobile phones. Subscribers use their voice to gain hands free and eye free access to their emails. Emails get read to the consumer and consumers can use voice commands to do standard email tasks like reply, forward etc. As states like California and several other states are enacting strict laws that prevent drivers from using their cell phones while driving, there may be a growing market for all those impatient professionals on the road that want to access and reply to emails while driving or in traffic. The company is privately funded and charges consumers $5.99/month for the service. See a video of how this works at http://www.voiceonthego.com/video/
MobiClip - a Southern California startup that offers consumers the, capability of selecting and managing all kinds of video content - pod casts, live TV channels, video on demand on their mobile phones. Consumers can subscribe to live TV and seem to have a good selection of movies consumers can view on demand on their cellphones. See more about them at http://www.movieclip.com
Keep up the good work.
