Hi everyone! We've been working really hard to enable all interested developers around the globe to use our Rest-ful APIs, to bring more value to their current product by implementing SMS/USSD/HLR and other technologies. Basically using our APIs u can turn an old cell phone into a smart phone (your end user can use the feature phone to access e-mail, get weather reports, check if he left the stow on at home....you name it.) If you are interested in beta testing please drop us you e-mail at www.parseco.com.

Thx!

Rene.


So basically you are suggesting that we can extend our product (you call it apps) to the Mobile area? aren't we doing that already with mobile apps??


For mobile apps you need a smart phone right? But when you use our REST APIs you (your end user) doesn't need a smart phone in order to use your app. Let's say that you have already developed a E-mail client app for a smart phone, and want to modify it so that every phone user can access their e-mails. You can use our APIs and deliver the email via SMS or USSD to the end user. The Smart phone market is huge, that's true. But think of all the people in the world that have "ordinary" cell phones, and they want to spend e.g. 3 $ a month to get their emails.....or to update their Facebook status via an "old/featured" cell phone? What about does guys? That's where www.parseco.com steps in.


alright...signing up!
