Shameless Plug

While I try to not abuse this blog as a platform to toot my own horn, please allow me to break my own rule today :-). This is a guest post from my alter-ego, the entrepreneur.
Many readers have asked me about the diminishing volume of posts here on the blog. Where, they ask, have I wandered off to. The answer is Onavo, the company I co-founded and run, together with the best team I could ever imagine. We’re a cloud-based company building an exciting solution in the mobile space – an app that saves you money (lots of it!) on data roaming. Using your smartphone abroad remains painfully expensive, and we’ve discovered that the cloud can eliminate this pain.
Last week I was at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona where we launched a private beta of our solution, for iPhones. I’ve been given the privilege to offer you, my readers (well, only the first few dozen of you) an invitation to the beta:
Using an iPhone? Go to www.onavo.com and use the code JOAC. If you’re already on your iPhone, simply click the following link: http://onavo.com/joac.
Shameless plug over. More juicy cloud numbers and stats to come.

BTW, I have the verizon iphone, will this work there? There’s no selection option for verizon.

Afraid not… the app uses some GSM-specific magic and at this time can’t be made to work on Verizon’s CDMA network.

Coming soon :-) By the way, out of curiosity, as you’re an Android user – have you ever purchased a paid app on the Android market?

FWIW I have not purchased any apps on my Android phone but plenty on my iPad.
Your start-up sounds interesting and I’d be interested in an Android solution. I’d even pay since it would offset the fees involved when I roam.
Also would add that some updated numbers would be great! Maybe a little summer update…;-)

After going round for round with T-Mobile about the terrible service and data issues, I went to the Android Market to specifically look for a “Data Compression” app. While Onova does not show up under those search terms, I did find it weeks ago and it is definitaly a great app. Build in data compression, on the fly image opitimization would be some great additions.
Great product so far.. Keep up the good work.
