This really gives ShoZu a huge boost and ensures that our team can always stay ahead of the curve in development and innovation :-) As a matter of fact, a brand new release of ShoZu is just around the corner with some awesome new features and new partners. Petra- It's a tough job but somebody's got to do it ;-) That's the nature of mobile. If you want easy to use 1-click access to all of your favorite websites then you need a client. Not just for ShoZu but anything else that's worth having like Gmail, YouTube, Yahoo Go, etc, all of which are awesome apps. Sure you can do the same thing in your mobile web browser, but it is a generally a hideous experience which takes several times longer to accomplish the same task. If you don't mind doing it all via MMS with a few extra clicks then ShoZu also has an MMS gateway which is of course client-free and you can use it with any phone on earth that supports picture/video messaging. So you can take your pick. But 50 million pre-installed handsets can't be wrong :-) Best, Jambo The ShoZu Blog http://shozu.vox.com/ Hey there,

ShoZu is so sad, they already ran out of the last round of funding? Their client-based application strategy is so ridiculously flawed, they must have 20 engineers updating the application as more and more mobile phones are released every day!!
