Matt Ranney, our VP Technology, did our first public presentation of our technology last Thursday in San Francisco at eComm. We were pretty pleased with the results. You can see the accompanying twitter feed.

There are also a couple of blog posts, the first notices of our coming out event:

Dean Bubley of Disruptive Wireless reports on the whole event and includes us:

Rebelvox, which has an interesting “timeshifting” voice technology, which essentially acts as a hybrid between push-to-talk and voice messaging and telephony. This is essentially another form of “non-telephony” VoIPo3G.

“Hybrid” is an interesting way to describe it.  One of our challenges is always describing what we do, for we do not “unify” something that has been separate, but rather totally replace the modalities of live voice, messaged voice, and text with something entirely different. They only look like the expected medium. Though we can make our applications behave just like the medium they replace, they are so much more dynamic, flexible, and useful after we have done our “hybrid” magic.

Alan Quayle also writes a report on the conference and mentions RebelVox.

RebelVox, new user experience for voice: Like Bubble Motion, with cute fast-play function to speed through listening to a voice message (based on a military technology), and ability to break into a live call.

It’s interesting to find us called “cute”, but good that people picked up on the tactical core of our work. Again, we come up on the difficulty of explaining something totally radical that looks a bit like things people expect. The play-faster, catch-up-to-live, and seamlessly transition into a live call really is a radical maneuver that cannot be accomplished without the RebelVox magic (patent pending, of course.)

And from Jan Linden, VP of Engineering of Global IP Solutions (which, by the way, is on our block in San Francisco) and who gave a very interesting talk on the challenges of deploying VoIP on the iPhone.

In terms of new applications/services I really liked Matt Ranney’s presentation on  RebelVox‘ technology that in a great way combines live and  asynchronous voice communications. This can be viewed as an integration of Voice SMS/IM, text IM, and live voice calls. This is definitely a type of service I would be prepared to pay for.

All in all, a good start to our public persona which will continue to evolve as we grow the company.
