hi there,
i hate shameless self promotion, but i couldn’t resist
posting here because i wrote this app with people
like us in mind (those who travel a lot)
ever since i semi-retired a little over a year ago, i
been traveling A LOT and i hated it when people
tried to reach me when i am on the plane or out of
the country. so i asked myself – wouldn’t it be cool
if i just set a status for my iPhone, similar to how
you can set a status on yahoo messenger or skype.
problem found - problem solved. so i spent a couple
of months and developed a little tool called
WhatsApp - it can let you set a status like “On the
flight to munich, send email instead of calling me” or
“In Japan for two weeks, my cell there is +81 829
282718”
our site with screenshots and faq is: http://
www.whatsapp.com and direct itunes link is: http://
itunes.com/app/whatsapp
i would like to hear your feedback and suggestions
on the idea. hit or miss?
(of course app is useless 'til your contacts begin to
use it also)
P.S. - i know a lot of you are BlackBerry users, and
we are working on a BlackBerry version already
(wish there was more hours in the day).
