If you were really there (and I believe you were) and to Sosa and Billcon, who were also there, how truthful is todays PR?
Calypso & Sleipner Announce Successful Demonstration of Calypso Wireless Dual Mode WiFi-GSM-GPRS VoIp Cellular Phones at Voice over Net Expo in Boston
"We are proud to see our patented technology and solutions being demonstrated at the Voice over Net Expo in Boston, MA. Offices, homes and enterprises will be able to save money when making VoIP calls over any Wireless LAN or switch over to the Mobile network when outside of Wireless LAN area," says Alfredo Sarrazin, Vice President of Sales of Calypso Wireless, Inc.
Spin it as you will, but four of us were there, and did any of us see a successful demonstration of the phone or technology? IT WAS NOT WORKING! They did not have a GSM connection, and the WiFi was confused due to so many access points. p2k got the farthest with a VoIP to VoIP (you should share more about this experience) call with echo (there were hundreds of VoIP devices at the show working fine, no echo, QOS applied, etc. I tested about a dozen such phones myself)- p2k was this a successful demo of the c1250i dual mode phone and/or coMob or ASNAP?
If there was any question in my mind about CLYW being a scam, this PR (after visiting the booth personally) puts it to rest. I can confirm first hand that this PR is not just an exaggeration or stretch of the truth, it is an out and out lie. I'm not "bashing", Calypso folks, I was there.
That handout, droy24's picture, clearly shows Sleipner as a division of CLYW. This is outrageous! Why would Calypso send a subsidiary to the VON to demonstrate a different technology than their own ASNAP (unless ASNAP did not work?).
I am through following this technology, it is clear to me that Calypso can not get it to work, and clear form todays PR that they are willing to lie about it. If I can offer any more to this board about my visit to the VON I will be happy to, but after that, the longs have one less "basher" to contend with. I wish you all luck.
