Rseven for Android & iPhone (jb) released. Next Blackberry.

Hisyam Halim — Thu, 10 Jun 2010 09:18:52 +0000

We just released Rseven for Android and iPhone (jb), both are still early versions that will go through many revisions to achieve stability and full feature set available on the other Rseven apps (Nokia S60 & WM).

The Android app supports Android v1.5 and later, that means it supports all Android phones including the first Android phone the T-Mobile G1 a.k.a. HTC Dream that has been updated to Android 1.5 a.k.a. ” Cupcake”. Call recording is still not functioning well (can only record one side of the conversation) on the Android due to certain Android APIs not working as it should be. We are testing with Froyo (Android 2.2) now to see whether the function is working. Rseven for Android is available in the Android Market, SlideMe and Rseven download page.

The iPhone app unfortunately requires the use of Private APIs that are not supported by Apple and requires a jailbroken iPhone to function. However the current version is still missing a few features like call recording, backup of audio & video files and syncing of calendar. It’s available now in Cydia.

The next app we will release will be for Blackberry.

Rseven Newsletter #3 – April 2010

Our long overdue newsletter.

Hi Rseven User,

It has been a while since our last newsletter, we have been busy adding new features to Rseven, as you may have noticed if you regularly use Rseven; the most complete online mobile lifecache service.

1.Google Maps Mashup

We have added a map to show the locations of where you were at when you were making calls or using SMSs. The location is not precise, since we use the mobile network cell ID to determine the location and reference it with the database at OpenCellID, an open source project. However it should give you an idea where you were at on a particular day in your past.

2. Data Management

We have added an export feature to Rseven (in Settings) that allows you to export your monthly data in a CSV file (a text file with a comma separating the values) that you can download to your computer for additional safekeeping or further analysis.

3. Security Question

A reminder for users that have not set their security question, please do it as soon as you can by logging in to rseven.com and set it in Settings > My Account . You’ll need to be able to answer the security question if you want to reset your password in case you’ve forgotten your password.

We value your feedback to make Rseven better and we’d appreciate it if you’d take the time to email your suggestions (or complaints) to support@rseven.com. Thanks for lifecaching with us.

Rseven at DEMOfall 09

Hisyam Halim — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 13:06:25 +0000

It was a really great honour to be part of the DEMO fraternity, I felt it strongly when I saw the Lifetime Achievement Award recipients on stage telling stories of how DEMO or specifically Chris Shipley’s belief in them help them in the early stages of their endeavour that turn into hugely succesful products such as Palm Pilot and VMWare.

Below are more links on the coverage of Rseven at DEMO (check out the comprehensive video interview by Dean from VentureBeat). I’m extremely grateful to the writers & journalists for covering us, not just for the coverage but also giving us a perspective of what the potential users would think and ask about the service. Thank you very much.

Rseven at DEMOfall 09: So far, so great

We presented in the morning on the first day, you can see the video here http://www.demo.com/alumni/demo2009fall/186046.html. We had a couple of reviews by VentureBeat’s Dean Takahashi and CNET News Rafe Needleman (links below) and was mentioned in several tweets (search for Rseven at Twitter), notably by Rich Jaroslovsky from Bloomberg News. So far, so great, I’ll update more later.
