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.”

* http://telnic.org/competition.html - official rules of the competition, please read

Let the fun begin!

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.

.

How to set colours for the header and background for Dot Tel domains, using the .tel control panel:

When you are at your controll panel, respectively, dashboard, you go top left and click on the card "Design", and go from there. It is self explaining...

Which brings you up this controll panel:








Select a colour space number (1, 2 or 3):

The colour customising mini panel, that will pop up, looks like this:





In the vertical colour bar, you select a basic colour, for aditional fine tuning:

Then (within the left window) you place the cross on the ring, and move the ring to the right area, that brings up the colour you wish to have. Your selected colour then shows in one of the two small windows, top right within the small controll panel. --> Save your colour choice, with the "save" button, bottom, right side.




To add a logo, you must go back to the main controll panel.







However, there are two tutorials. One in french, and another one in German (which will be continued):

* no-domain-name - Set to 1 to hide the domain name (title)
* no-photo - Set to 1 to hide the photo
* map - Set to 1 to show a Google map next to the location record (no effect if no-loc = 1)
* popout-links - Set to 1 to launch Go To links in a new browser window (0 launches them within Contact Us)
* css - The path to the stylesheet to use, for example:
http://hosted.telnic.org/cgi-bin/con...h.com/your.css

You can use ampersands or semicolons to separate arguments, for example:
http://hosted.telnic.org/cgi-bin/con...;no-keywords=1
http://hosted.telnic.org/cgi-bin/con...&no-keywords=1
