| Based in
London, UK, PhoneThing Ltd concentrates on products for mobile
phones and the Web. Founded in 2004, we have been quietly working
on developing several exciting services, some of which are listed
under the Products section, to be released soon. |

We operate
both in the B2B (Business to business) and B2C (Business to consumer)
space, and are built on the founder's passion for all things mobile. |
| PhoneThing closely
follows developments in the mobile space, attending various mobile
industry trade shows over the course of the year. We are also active
members of professional mobile interest groups, including Mobile
Mondays London, the Oxford University Next Generation Mobile Applications
Panel and the Ecademy
Mobile Applications Club. |

Staff have
extensive experience in new media and technology, including technical,
sales, support, systems engineering and management roles at various
companies including Verio - one of the world's largest webhosting
companies, BBC Interactive TV, and founding and running a
London based computer support company, IT-Assist.Net
Ltd.
Staff programming experience extends back 22 years, covering the
early days of home computing from BASIC on the ZX Spectrum, through
C on the Commodore Amiga, Pascal and C on the PC and Unix, and
even assembly language and scripting on various platforms. |
| Technology -
these days, we prefer open source solutions where possible, including
Linux, PHP, Ruby on Rails etc. On the mobile the simplicity and
ubiquity of SMS and J2ME get our vote, though we're open to each
new technology that comes along! |

Where's
Mobile At? PhoneThing
believe mobile truly has the chance to become the ubiquitous easy
to use computing platform that the world has been waiting for,
and that many thought the PC was. For example, we feel
it is mobile rather than the PC that will help 3rd world countries
climb the ladder of prosperity, not just directly, but in so many
little ways in the background. Of course, the mobile is not quite
there yet, but as the handset software gets easier to use, the
hardware becomes more commoditised, and mobiles become more constantly
connected to the internet, we'll begin to see the true potential
of the platform for what are currently 2 billion users and rising. |
| Get In Touch We
always like hearing from other people and companies as interested
in mobile as we are, so feel free to get in touch if that's you. |
