Knocking is a better, faster way to communicate with your social world. It is direct mobile to mobile live video and pics. Where you once got a call, or an e-mail, or a text or pix message, now you get a knock. In fact you hear a real knock on your mobile device or smartphone.
When you answer you see live video or pics from your friend’s smartphones anytime, anywhere, instantly. It is truly the fastest, easiest, and most intriguing way to share. Knocking is instant visual messaging. What’s important about knocking is that it’s truly live. For the first time, everyone can experience what anyone is doing, as it’s happening.
Even more surprising, knocking technology allows owners of older Apple iPhone models (2G, 3G), even iPod Touch to receive live video! Yes, even without a camera. In fact, we will be available on the new iPad as soon as it is released!
And this is all just the beginning. The knocking live experience will soon be growing to include new features and platforms. Imagine a “knockcast” (knocking broadcast) to ALL your friends at once, or sharing an event LIVE with your entire family, no matter where they are.
