First reactions to Avego iPhone application
Just before Christmas, Avego’s iPhone client began to ship.
And already, we’ve had people using the product in over 30 countries worldwide.

New York Times – 21 December
Soon you may no longer need to stick out your thumb to catch a ride. Instead, you may get one by tapping your fingers on your iPhone.

Waiting on Apple App Store approval for iPhone
Eighteen days ago, we submitted the Avego app to the iPhone app store. We’re hoping and expecting that any day now the app will go live… To be fair, Apple has been fairly diligent in making sure that the application meets their style guidelines, etc. A bit to my surprise, they rejected the application twice… Continue reading Waiting on Apple App Store approval for iPhone
Avego not just a Gen 1.0 Ridesharing App
Sometimes I hear from people who don’t really understand the difference between carpooling and shared transport. And I admit, I can be almost irrational in how it bugs me when people don’t “get it”. You know Paul Giamotti’s character on Sideways, you know, when he is talking with his buddy outside the restaurant? This is… Continue reading Avego not just a Gen 1.0 Ridesharing App
Avego submitted to the iPhone App Store
On the afternoon of 1 December (GMT), the Avego app was submitted to the iPhone App Store. We’re keeping our fingers crossed!
