We are Nokia's MoshUp Challenge Winners!!!

Yes, thats absolutely right. People normally say that Monday is the worst day of the week, but for us, today's a 'wonderful' day. At 13:03 hours today, we received a mail from Forum Nokia Asia Pacific, that we have won their MoshUp Challenge. We had submitted our most popular application "Spam Manager" for this challenge, and it got collected and downloaded the maximum number of times.

And the winner takes home a brand new feature packed 'Nokia N95'. Cool, isn't it!!

Thanks to you all who liked our application and collected/downloaded it from Mosh. Without you, this feat was not possible.

Also, in the meantime, we have successfully launched "Spam Manager for S60 2nd Edition". Please give it a try, if you have a S60 2nd edition phone.

Knock Knock!!!

Last three months we went into a deep stealth mode, working overtime but energetically for our product "Mobitop". And now we are back again with a BANG!!!
First of all, let me wish you a very "Happy New Year", followed by some updates.
Starting this year, we moved to a new bigger office, as we are scaling up now. We do have open positions, and the details are here.

Now about the events that happened over last weekend(18-19,January,2008):
We presented "Mobitop" at two events, 'Proto, Chennai' and 'HeadStart, Bangalore!'. Both the events were full of energy, and we are happy to see such an ecosystem building in India at a vast pace. If you happened to be there, and saw our presentations, we would be glad to receive your valuable feedback. Also please feel free to send us your opinions/suggestions here regarding mobitop as well as the innovative applications that can be built on it.
We are waiting!!

An Unforgettable Monday

Yes, it was indeed an "Unforgettable" Monday, reason being that India emerged as Twenty20 champs. That was awesome!!!. We had one more reason to cheer about. No prizes for guessing....it was the "Mobitop Launch", the same day at MoMo.
To our surprise, we were received by an audience of 35-40 enthusiastic people, inspite of the Twenty20 Finals going on at the same time.Since our platform enables the developers to add features to their mobile application on the server and deploy on web(without re-flashing/installing it on mobile),we capitalized on that and added the "Latest Cricket Score" feature for that "Special Day":), just before the demo(in few seconds).
Watch out this space, as we will be uploading the video of the Mobitop/iContactBook demo soon....

PS: We missed the Twenty20 Finals, but got a chance to see the last 7 balls on the large screen, and that were the ones that mattered most:) Well Done,India.
Oh Boy!!!It was an action packed Monday.

'Mobitop Launch' around the corner...

Dear friends,
It's my pleasure to announce the launch of our much awaited platform, i.e. Mobitop.

“MobiTop, is a mobile phone application development platform with which application developers, device manufacturers and operators can easily develop and deploy new breed of applications with Web 2.0 features. Key challenges faced by today’s mobile application developers are, “Device incompatibilities” and “Ineffective application delivery platforms”. We @ Mobisy are trying to address these major issues by providing a platform to develop applications quickly in standard web technologies like AJAX and limiting the porting issues. Further, we are enabling Internet based deployment of applications, which provides security at the same time avoiding complicated and lengthy, signing procedures. We also provide native device access capabilities(like Call,SMS, Contacts), offline mode and many other key features to watch out for.”

As a first step, we will be giving a demo of our showcase applications on Mobitop in "Mobile Monday(Bangalore Chapter)" event, on 24th Sept,07. Find out more details about this MoMo event "here".
See you on Monday @ MoMo.

"Mobisy's Spam Manager" ROCKS!!

Well, last some days we were really excited to find out response to our first product, i.e. "Mobisy's Spam Manager". Every single morning we used to check our mails, for the number of downloads that happened last nite. It feels great to share with you all, that the response has been simply "awsome":). Till now,Spam Manager has been downloaded for more than 300 times, and that too only from "Handango".
If we sum up downloads from other sites, it can simply be doubled(i.e.600 downloads in just 3 weeks).

We also have uploaded "Spam Manager Ver 1.0 for S60 3rd Edition Devices" at following places:
1. "Nokia Software Market"
2. "MobiHand"

We got nice reviews, another reason to feel proud. We were also contacted by a reporter from 'Selular Magazine', Indonesia. It seems there's going to be an article on our "Spam Manager" in their October Edition.

Do go out, and try "Call and SMS Spam Manager for S60 3rd Edition" from Mobisy. I bet, its 'The Cheapest' and 'The Best'.

Mobisy's Call/Sms Spam Manager is Alive n Kickin!!!

We@ Mobisy are proud to annouce the release of our first application, "Spam Manager Ver 1.0 for S60 3rd Edition Devices". Its a nice application to keep spam callers/smsers at bay. Now stopping junk marketing calls and smses is in your own hands. Just add that annoying 'Number' in Spam Manager's Spam List.We will take care of the rest. Peace at last!!!

Lets download "Spam Manager(Trial Version)".

Mobisy's Head Shoulder and Foot

I came across this extremely good blog today. It basically tells you how important it is for a start-up to find a Wise Head to question everything, a Broad shoulder to weep and generally to support you when you need, and a strong foot to kick you in the butt when you need it !!

I agree with almost everything mike says here. It matches quite well with my own experience. It got me thinking about who would be the head , shoulder and foot of Mobisy if we have one and turns out we already have those positions filled ..:-).

Chhavi and sometimes Bhupender act like our wise heads, they want us to cross check everything and assume nothing !! Also we have some nice advisers from the industry who help us keep our own head on the shoulder.
The shoulder job is more divided and is done by all of us from time to time. Obviously it helps that in addition to being co-founders of Mobisy we are firstly great friends of each other and that chemistry helps to pull each other up when things do not look as well as they should.
As far as foot is concerned, similar to mike, our respective spouses do that job extremely well. They will not let us fail or accept failure.
