They claim to do things with a telephone line that a telephone line won't support or which the customer's service agreement with the phone company forbids. PR can get a serious looking launch, but it won't keep the company going. The only thing I can't predict is whether OOMA will lead or follow Vonage down the drain.

I have to say the techsphere has been sounding very much like the fashion press for a while now. I understand the desire to ramp traffic up quickly with lite, cheerful, fanboy material - it is a pageview world after all (or was until recently, anyway), and those parties look like a lot of fun - but I don't think the techsphere truly understands how ephemeral an audience is when it's given little more than effervescence.
