Is there a VirtualSalons & VirtualSpas Mobile App?

I don’t know how much time you spend reading about smartphone capabilities and technology developments, but getting full smartphone access for our subscribers has been stalled out over the last few months because of a technology war between Apple and Adobe. Adobe is finally recovering and getting Flash Player access on a wide variety of smartphones in the marketplace.

Our team was discussing this issue 12 months before their war went public and we can't wait for it to be resolved! The power-play between these two companies really only hurts consumers and small business. Thankfully, it is finally looking like there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

The VirtualSalons and VirtualSpas online appointment booking, Emarketing and salon and spa management system is built in a program that requires the use of Adobe Flash Player. The newest Adroid 2.2 upgrade claims to be supporting Flash Player 10.1 and/or 10.2. So soon, most Android smart phones will be supporting Flash and provide full unlimited access to the VirtualSalons and VirtualSpas application.

Our iPhone subscribers are finding success using a 99cent App called CLOUD BROWSE. The 99cent download gives iPhone users the ability to use the browser in 3-5 minute sessions. However, unlimited access to Cloud Browse will require a subscription fee of $6.99 per month with the maker of Cloud Browse.

Blackberry operating systems continue to be way behind in adding the ability to access Flash Player in a mobile browser.

To complicate things more, we are seeing mobile service providers beginning to inflict more financial pain on smartphone consumers by moving away from unlimited data plans. Sprint has already cut off unlimited use and Verizon is also doing the same. All of the new smartphone and tablet devices that stream video and applications are killing service provider networks (even with the new 3G and 4G) and they are moving back to charging for data use.

Some of our competitors may be advertising specialized iPhone or Android apps, but they don't have comprehensive, intelligently designed real-time technology tools that build your business daily. So, although we don't have a date for separate "APP" tools to go live, I can assure you that it will be a much shorter time for us to create specialized mobile access tools as necessary than it take for our competitors to be able to try to add all of the business tools and functionality we already have in the VirtualSalons and VirtualSpas application.

We are evaluating every variable to be sure that we continue to put forward online salon and spa management and marketing tools that will exceed the expectations of our current and future subscribers.

To our subscribers...We hear you and we want you to keep the feedback coming on your experiences with Android 2.2 and Cloud Browse. We're taking it all in...
