Successful phone to phone - Image transfer!

Life is good. chugging along. In the past few weeks we reached a few signification milestones.
I do not know whether I mentione this before or not- but there is an 'angel investor' who is ready
to "gamble" his money with us =). But he wants to settle all the outstanding issues first.

So since he said that - we have enagaged a firm providign corporate secretarial services. The good news is that they do everything and take of the how it needs to be done. The bad thing is that they are slow... and thats delaying our investment. And that is why I am broke - Yes! Now I get it.. the reason why my bank balance is negative is that they are slow. Ok - Monday first thing - breathe down their neck!

Apart from the biz side - we achieved significant milestone in terms of product development. We succesfully tested sending pictures from phone to phone, even after GPRS disconnections, call coming,
etc. At the end it seems that we need to put a keep alive bit to be sent every 3 minutes or so, so that the NAT running on the operator GGSN never times out and in turn delete the entry in its table.

Yes - finally we managed to perform a phone to phone operation. we are using TCP sockets currently - I do not know how we can optimise that - I don't know whether we should concentrate more on optmising that = or concentrate on thinking of more and more new services for our platform. Well you might say that both are equally important, but you see with limited resources - you need to focus. =)

I guess we'll take up things slowly. for now - we are developing our symbian application =)
