Symsource releases its first Android application, for award-winning .tel names

Symsource Limited, the mobile engineering experts behind some of today’s most widely used applications, has announced the release of the My.tel application running on the Android platform.

Developed on behalf of Telnic Limited (http://telnic.tel) - which created the award-winning communications-focused .tel names - Symsource’s My.tel for Android management app allows users to manage their .tel contact information in real time. The application developed by Symsource supports Android OS 1.5 and is oriented to popular devices from HTC and other providers.

Gareth Jehu, Director of Operations at Telnic, commented: “Telnic has been impressed by Symsource's professional approach to product development, competitive pricing and their ability to meet our expectations within tight cost and quality constraints. These attributes have enabled us to move quickly and launch the .tel client into the Android marketplace at a time when market share for the Android operating platform is gaining rapid momentum."

Omid Rezvani, CEO of Symsource (http://symsource.tel), said: “We are delighted to be part of the .tel names ecosystem. The management application we have developed gives Android users the power to manage their instant mobile presence, enabling contacts to find them as soon as contact information, location and keywords have been published. Our app allows users to benefit from Telnic’s innovative technology, which reduces the cost of downloading data from the mobile web and significantly increases the speed of accessing real-time information. This is critical for smart phone users.”

This will keep the minds of .Tel users occupied and distracted, rather than that they will be able to be worried about the real worries and problems about .Tel.

What happens if the registry can't fullfill the promised time stipulated for releasing the template selection: Don't worrie, be happy and play the ".tel treasure hunt". That's what you usually do with small children, to let them forget about the existing problems and worries, and let them be in a "other world" of play and fantasy.

Mactel,

Thank you for your comment. Please remember that this is a brand awareness and educational campaign for .tel domains and TelPages targeted at internet users in general, not exclusively at .tel owners. This is why we've shared banners and PR so that active .tel owners can help spread the word and increase the value and popularity of .tel domains.
If the competition doesn't sound appealing to you, you can continue focusing on securing your portfolio, developing your domains and sales efforts.

Yes, but:
"help spread the word and increase the value and popularity of .tel domains" will make more sense, if there is a decent telproxy to show ("off" with).

At this stage, and mainly because telproxy is not very appealing to look at, many potential companies are not very interested, or not (yet) interested in .Tel.

So, this promo effort, comes too early, wheras the efforts to make .Tel look nicer, are very late.

It is not so smart to try to promote a ugly duckling, when it would be easyer to promote a white swan.

Put your efforts and energy into bringing out the .Tel template selection. "Treasure hunt" is another thing, done at the wrong time. Same as the new telproxy came out too late, just before renewal time, putting loads of people off, if only left "gray in gray", and not used to add a nice logo, and a tasteful colour scheme. The new .Tel look was quasi a anti-promotion, as the look needs a lot more refinement options.

Why .tel?

Domainvestors.tv - Why .tel? from Domainvestor on Vimeo.


In this video I discuss the reasons why I think .tel domains could be a good investment. While .tel may never be successful in the Domaining world, I have reason to believe this will be a success in the business world.

.tel is the first time I have seen Domainers close their mind to a new idea so quickly. I think the reason for this is simple – .tel is not a TLD for Domainers. We are oftentimes afraid of what we do not know, or what we do not understand. Look at Alexander Graham Bell – when he first invented the telephone many people were terrified of the new device. It is easy to be afraid of what we do not understand, but closing your mind might only cause you miss-out on an incredible opportunity.

I share some great quotes from a recent post by Kevin Jackson of ebusinessdomains.com.

Along with my own thoughts on .tel I have included an on-screen demo of how to configure your .tel domain as well as an example of a strong application for .tel – cancel.tel.

Update about Telnic, the .Tel registry

Aled Williams has become Customer Service Manager, at Telnic.org, from 01. May 2010.
For that occasion, he has improved the look of his online business card, and removed the ugly photograph: http://aled.tel.

Justin Haywards blog at http://my-blogs.justin.tel/ : http://retrospectivefutureologist.blogspot.com/,
gives some interesting information, about the „inlife“ of the Telnic registry.
Blog quotes from Juli/August 2008:
„I'm now working as a Communications Director for a company that, at its heart, is all about connecting people using technology in an innovative way. It's delivering a product that people seem to be crying out for, both from finding easy and quick ways to get in touch with people at large organisations as customers who want a better service or just don't want to embrace a totally internet-driven life; but it's also seeming to address the desire for the fragmented communications and channels that people are adopting like crazy to be managed simply within a hub under one universal contact name (not like OpenID which is about identity management and verification, but which certainly can be stored under this name) and which can be given out as 'one name for life'.“

„I've been chatting to bloggers and commentators behind the scenes and in front of them, and there's a growing understanding of the fact that the .tel is a significantly different use of the domain name system and the DNS than anything that's gone before. As too are the registrars we're meeting with, who we're helping understand the USP of the .tel to different types of individuals and organisations.“
„We've been signing up registrars like there's no tomorrow - we've had over 100 registrars signing up on our website in preparation for signing the agreements to sell the .tel and a very good proportion of those who have signed agreements already. We've got one of those big world maps (with the countries out of proportion!) where we're sticking pins to see how the sign-ups are going, and it's looking pleasingly busy already.“
„We briefed an analyst a couple of days ago who said that the .tel was 'game-changing'. I can't tell you who it was as there'll be an announcement in about a week's time which will give the 'game' away, as we've been offered a very exciting opportunity in a couple of months time to really widen our awareness. We've been busy writing marketing materials for IP lawyers and brand protection specialists from Croatia through to Japan who've been in touch with us asking for proactive materials.“
„We're not doing badly on unique visitors to the website either - www.telnic.org - given the fact that we're not in consumer awareness and education as yet, so this is a really positive thing.
It's still hard to get people to understand that the .tel bypasses the need for designing websites as it's using the DNS to store contact information (including website URLs) and publish it to any device, either to a proxy page which is tiny or, if you're using our clients, straight to the device. There's no easy way around this except to show them, but as soon as that happens, there's a very positive reaction.“
„Much of my professional life has been about connecting people together. Making people understand that it's OK to have different opinions but that a respect for the other person must be at the base of all things, otherwise no progression can happen (indeed, a favourite quote from William Blake, 'Without contraries, there is no progression'.“
„I'm now working as a Communications Director for a company that, at its heart, is all about connecting people using technology in an innovative way. It's delivering a product that people seem to be crying out for, both from finding easy and quick ways to get in touch with people at large organisations as customers who want a better service or just don't want to embrace a totally internet-driven life; but it's also seeming to address the desire for the fragmented communications and channels that people are adopting like crazy to be managed simply within a hub under one universal contact name (not like OpenID which is about identity management and verification, but which certainly can be stored under this name) and which can be given out as 'one name for life'.“
„
You're saying, what's different about this? Simply, it is stored as data on the internet, not on a website, but within the Domain Name System (DNS), which is normally used for storing IP addresses. Mapping domain names to contact details means it's deliverable across multiple devices, can be updated instantaneously and therefore is always current, can be sent at such a low cost over the net that for us in Europe where there's not universal flat-rate internet access it's going to be really interesting. And at the end of the day, it does what it says on the tin, no more, no less. Connecting people.“
„I think I'm in the right place. I think we're at the right time. I'm thinking this could be a very interesting tool (I hesitate to say technology because they have hidden the complexity of it so it becomes a service - again, cool). I'm hoping that I can do it justice and that the early adopter community will embrace it.“
