ShareFile Goes Mobile–Kind Of

By Ben Kepes

This morning ShareFile, a file sharing and collaboration company that I’ve covered before (and ranted about once), is today launching mobile applications for iOS and Android devices. The apps are live on the Android App Store right now and already sent for Apple’s inquisition approval process, so iPhone and iPad

AT&T–You Make Me Want to Slash My Wrists

By Ben Kepes

Last year, while in Denver for defrag, I purchased an AT&T GoPhone PrePay SIM card. Rather than incur large roaming fees from home in New Zealand, it made sense to have a local phone number and, more importantly, data plan, for my frequent US trips. I’ve not been in the

Isn’t the answer mobile?

By The Unreasonablemen
