Quotes
Martin Rosinski, Palringo’s CTO, said:
“Android is a 21st
century platform and it deserves a 21st century messaging application that’s not
confined just to text messaging. Palringo is that application.”
“If you’re on a bus or in a
library, then by all means stick with typing. But if you want them to see
something, then it’s one click to take the picture and one to send it - and
they're receiving the photo already.”
“By integrating the messaging
capabilities of popular IM applications and social networks into a single
application, Palringo has created a messaging community that runs to hundreds
and hundreds of millions of users.”
“We’ve brought all our experience
to bear on Android in order to make it available to people as soon as possible. We’re delighted to be the first to all users to connect to all of their friends
no matter what IM or social network they use, as we were for the iPhone last
year.”
