According to a piece in the NYT today 1000 people a minute are getting cell phones
Mike Kinosian at Inside Radio Magazine just did a nice article on Foneshow. Interesting coverage of the product and the company.
From the AP:
For nearly three in 10 households, don't even bother trying to call them on a landline phone. They either only have a cell phone or seldom if ever take calls on their traditional phone.
Holland Cooke stopped by the booth in Vegas and shot a little video.
Holland wears many hats.
Foneshow comes in at about 2:25.
Foneshow had a great response at NAB. We launched our tool for local TV and radio stations to break news quickly to mobile. The whole team did great. My panel was fun, we had a good conversation, and I met some great people. We called in some friends of Foneshow to help cover booth hours. Liza totally rocked everything, we could not have done it without her.
I'm at the McCarran airport now headed to SJC. I'll spend the weekend hanging out with friends and family in the bay area. On Tuesday and Wednesday I'll be at Dow Jones Wireless Innovations 2008 (presenting on Wednesday).
After I get in to the bay area I'll post some photos from NAB and write more about Foneshow Breaking News.
Almost the whole team is off to Las Vegas for NAB this week. We've even raided the farm team for some extra bodies.If you're coming to NAB be sure to drop by our booth (C452) for a demo of our new product (more on that on Monday).
I'm also on a panel on Monday at 10:30 (Mobile, Digital & Syndicated Content) at the RTNDA section of the show. Come on by for that too.
Sorry about the light posting, I've been traveling and the whole team has been getting ready for NAB in Las Vegas next week.
