Anticipating a Launch in Summer '09

We've been working hard on iPling Instant Classifieds products during the first months of 2009 and want to give a progress report. We anticipate launching with a large Mexican partner within the next three months. Negotiations continue with a couple of companies while our development group is finalizing the app, which we're currently testing in internal alpha. We're also interviewing Mexican PR and marketing firms that can help us take this long-anticipated service live with a big splash.

At the same time, we're working on an iPhone app for the instant classifieds, localized for the US market. We look forward to making it available in the App Store mid-summer. The global recession, funding and credit crunch, swine flu, and the complexities of a new startup have all slowed things down over the past several months, but the original vision of freedom, empowerment, and connection that have motivated iPling from Day 1 continue to burn brightly, and we're all committed to bringing our new services to market in 2009.

Stay tuned to the blog for updates on the availability of our new apps.
