DASHWIRE OPENS ACCESS TO BETA SERVICE, ANNOUNCES ENHANCEMENTS THAT HELP BRIDGE MOBILE AND WEB WORLDS

Free service automatically mirrors the content on your mobile phone to the web, making it significantly easier to access and share mobile experiences – no cables required.

SEATTLE, Washington — March 28, 2008 — Dashwire, Inc. today announced it is opening the doors to its innovative service, providing supported smartphone users around the world with powerful new ways to simplify day-to-day phone usage and to seamlessly share mobile experiences with friends and the social sites they use to stay connected with them.

“The most interesting stuff doesn’t happen when you’re sitting in front of a computer,” said Ford Davidson, founder and CEO of Dashwire, “but that still doesn’t mean that you don’t want to easily access and share those experiences with your social circle when you’re back in front your computer. Dashwire is placing a premium on the information you want to access wherever you are by helping to facilitate the intersection between your mobile, web, and social worlds.”

Within minutes of signing up for Dashwire’s free service, all phone content — contacts, text messages, calls, photos, videos, and phone settings — automatically uploads and is safely backed-up on your web-based Dashwire account. Your phone is constantly connected to the web, where Dashwire makes it easy to search, interact with, and to share the memories captured on your phone with friends and your favorite sites.

In opening access to its free service, Dashwire is also introducing:

Single Click Media Sharing to Social Networks
Users have already invested enough time building out their online social networking presences – they don’t want to spend any more figuring out how to connect their mobile phones to all of them. Dashwire instantly uploads the photos from your phone to the web, allowing you to share those memories in a single click with friends on sites like Facebook, Flickr, Twitter, and Bebo.

Remote Status Updates
Updating your friends on the latest in your life shouldn’t require a trip to the computer. Dashwire lets you instantly update your Facebook and Twitter status from your phone, helping you stay connected to your friends wherever you are.

Threaded SMS Conversations
Text messaging doesn’t stop when you’re in front of your computer, but picking up your phone to send and receive them might. Dashwire not only enables you to read, reply, compose, and search text messages from the comfort of a computer keyboard, but it also provides you with a threaded view of your conversations by contact. “We’re bringing an instant messaging-like experience to SMS via Dashwire,” said Davidson.

Automatic Phone-to-Phone Transfer
For some users, connecting their mobile and social worlds is the least of their concerns. “People have enough challenges with managing the complexity of what their phones can already do,” said Davidson. “Many users are reluctant to upgrade to a new phone for fear of losing their content or out of a general desire to avoid the hassle.” Dashwire not only helps these users back-up and configure their phones online, but when ready to change phones, it also automatically transfers address book contacts and device settings from one phone to the next.

To start using Dashwire’s free beta service, simply visit www.dashwire.com on your computer web browser to sign-up for immediate access. Dashwire is currently available for Windows Mobile 5.0 and 6-powered phones like the HTC Touch, Samsung BlackJack I & II, Sprint Mogul, Motorola Q series, AT&T Tilt, T-Mobile Shadow, and Pantech Duo.

one not so good change is that you can't access the dashboard (my.dashwire.com) from PIE anymore as it no longer supports IE6

Just sent a text on T-Mo UK fine.

Does anyone know if there is a actual "config" option?
I have a 6GB memory card, and I have a lot of stuff on there
- Friends Episodes (located in "my documents" folder
- Photo shoot (resized to show people when I'm on the road)
etc..

Most of that stuff doesn't need to be synced, but it looks like it does
Is it possible to specify what folders to sync?

mmm - I tried using the international number format as well as 07........ but no joy.

Tell me Paul - on your Settings > Phone page does it specify your carrier? Mine does not but I see no way of changing this?

It's strange because my previously sent and received texts have synced from the phone to the dashboard ok

'Not Specified'...

I sent in the +44 format (to myself) ;)

Anyone know where you can submit bugs/requests?

I'm not sure why you would need to do this though? Use a web interface on your phone to view and control data on the same phone?
