Android and ShopSavvy EVERYWHERE!

October 16, 2008

I woke up this morning around 6AM to find hundreds of stories posted about T-Mobile’s new G1 and our ShopSavvy application for Android.  Wow!  Coverage around the web and the world including stories in The New York Post, USA Today, eWeek, AdAge, Gadgetell, The Boston Globe, VentureBeat, SlashGear, Dallas Morning News and hundreds of others.  Walt Mossberg from the Wall Street Journal simply suggests, “Google Answers the iPhone“.  Erick Schonfeld from TechCrunch concludes, “The Android is going to be a runaway success once it goes on sale October 22. (Already, 1.5 million are rumored to be pre-sold).”

We have been really lucky to have participated in the launch of the Android platform as well as being included by T-Mobile in their US and international launches of the G1.  More than 273 reporters have written stories about ShopSavvy, Big in Japan and our team.  It has been an amazing experience.  Later this month we will being our European launch in the UK, concluding in early 2009 with access to T-Mobile’s entire 100 million customers throughout the EU.
