The lady who taught America to text

Friday, September 12th, 2008

I just bumped into Cristy Burgan, VP Marketing Solutions for Acision.

It was Cristy who wrote the script for Ryan Seacrest, presenter of American Idol, that taught America to text.

American Idol was one of the very first text-enabled live television shows - and that got millions of Americans picking up their handsets and scrolling to the little used ‘text’ function.

Kudos, Cristy!

iPhone hitting 10 Latin American countries on Aug 20th

Wednesday, August 6th, 2008

I’m looking forward to seeing how the iPhone 3G is received in the ten Latin American countries due to launch shortly. It’s America Movil, Latin America’s ‘leading’ wireless service provider, bringing it to market in the region in August 22nd.

The countries are: Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Paraguay, Peru and Uruguay.

I wonder if we have any readers from those areas? I’m guessing not. You never know. Email me and say hi if you’re reading from Latin America.

Pricing details aren’t available as yet.
