With that $41m they got, not a whole has been achieved thus far. What is the problem they are trying to solve with this?

I mean, cool a broadcasting tool that i.e. Qik.com or Justin.tv already provides. It drains you battery, it drains you data plan. Unless you use WiFi, but other than that it is not really a app that will get you far.

When I go on vacation I use it for the peace and not to show my pleasurable moments with my friends. When I go to a concert, I go there for myself and not my friends. Plus the quality that gets pushed out is so bad, especially sound, it is better for them to wait for a Youtube upload than see and hear it from my crappy lit phone with bad microphone.

Just like others say, quit using the word pivot. And the website could use a video explaining, because reading it her e in a comment, MAKES ZERO SENSE!

Yes. You're quite correct. This application will be centered to places where data is cheap/free. Definitely not for Australians, New Zealanders etc.

With $41 million, you'd have thought they could execute anything. I thought everyone had a million ideas, but it all came down to execution...

In the US, unlimited data plans are in the $80+taxes range per month, where taxes add a significant amount. This makes the new Color a cutesy amusement to try out once and then delete.
