Just like virtually every other group of geeks we are extremely excited by the iPhone. Particularly what interests us the internet capabilities. The ability to run a full web browser really opens up a lot of possibilities for us; specifically the ability to use our web based products on the road. So we would like to make a couple of announcements. We will do whatever it takes to make heap completely usable with the iPhone. As we understand it, the iPhone is already running a version of Safari; and as any mac user knows heap is completely compatible with that browser. However, making a product usable is more then just making it compatible. We will first resize the interface (which we are working on now), adjust the fonts and optimize for the finger as a pointer. We will have this new version out it in days of the release of the iPhone. We would also like to note that if the widgets on the iPhone can be created by 3rd party developers, we will make widgets for heap. Heap is already the only CRM on the market with OS X Widgets or Vista Gadgets and we would like to maintain the lead.

This will be discussed in more detail on our podcast (Simple Solutions) later this week. So if you are interested please click on one of the links under the “Podcast” section to your right.

We have decided to create a podcast (netcast): It’s called “Simple Solutions.” We will spend each episode either talking about simple way to solve a business problem with technology or interviewing someone who has created something to solve a business problem.With this announcement we are releasing two episodes. Episode one is an interview with Jim Frasca of SheerDev. He has created a brilliant piece of software to manage a website, simply. Episode two is an interview with John Wu of Kerio Technologies. Kerio mail server isn’t exactly simple but its SO much better then exchange that we can forgive some of the complexity.If you are interested, look to the right and click on one of the buttons that allows you to subscribe (under the “podcast” menu).

In less then two weeks, heap has had 1,000 different companies choose a simpler way. Heap is still free until March 1st; why not give it a go.
