One of the things that nobody talks about when they look at "Barrier to Entry" is the amount of work that has to into a startup. Between technical, business development, sales, marketing, and administration, there's a lot to do - much more than one may initially imagine. That is, I mean, if we're talking about building a real company with a real business model. Which is a good thing: Even though the idea may sound simple, proper execution is a real barrier to entry. So you have to fear less about competition, but you still have to watch the big guys deciding to do what you're doing. They already have the execution infrastructure in place.
Anyhow, all of this long prolog was to say in a way that a lot of work has gone into launching the new version of Frucall. Look and feel of the site are now much better, voice user interface works better (and you can use * as a backspace when you enter barcodes), and group voice messaging is fully functional.
Here is the Press Release. Enjoy!
