4Info makes your cell phone smarter
Monday, October 30th, 2006Zaw Thet, CEO at 4Info, is doing some remarkable things for cell phones. Yeah, you can use 4Info to search from your phone, but 4Info is so much more. Their advertising can be seen on the front page of the sports section in USA Today so this isn’t a fly-by-night company and they are building an interesting platform to build a whole range of mobile-phone-centric services. Here we meet Zaw.
