Into Thin Air…

Imagine serving email to any wireless device! Well, ThinAirApps launched with an impressive new product where you can in real-time check your email on your cell phone. By downloading their product, the most popular download on Palm's website, and having your company install their software onto your email server, you can tap into Outlook or any other email program for your email instantly. Launched simultaneously at the Bubble Lounge in New York and San Francisco on Tuesday, June 6, I chatted with CEO Jon Oakes about this new company. Of course, the product didn’t just come out of thin air, and it seems it'll have a good shelf life. Among the celebrants for this wonder were John Siani of GoAmerica and Jodi Kahn of 24/7 Media. Elizabeth Mooney, NY Bureau Chief of RCRnews.com raved about the product and near the demo kiosk I caught up a bit with ThinAirApps new biz and strategic alliances director Stephanie Agresta and Knowledge Strategies VP of Retail strategy Eileen Shulock. Champagne, smoked salmon and other delectable treats were being served up, which I had to pass up as I huddled under my umbrella and out onto the next affair.
