Why Apple Stores Want Our App
(and)How To Get A Free T-Shirt

Posted by Fuze Meeting - Kristen

The Fuze Meeting team got quite a treat yesterday when a couple of us were wandering through the Apple store scopin’ the iPads on Market Street (we’re in SF) and WHAM, we saw that …

The Fuze Meeting mobile app is one of the default apps on all in-store iPhones!!!

For serious! I mean, yes, we were expecting it…but we didn’t know when they would hit stores and man-oh-man are we pleased!

So naturally, I cut my Fuze T-shirt into my best 80’s-off-the-shoulder get-up and popped out to take a picture with our little mobile collaboration buddy. Say cheese! *click*

“What,” you ask, “makes Fuze Meeting on the iPhone so amazing that Apple would actually ask us to feature it in stores?” Well – a few things actually.

• It’s super sexy. You know Apple cares quite as much about design as they do about functionality. Don’t worry, we’re functional too, but the sleek factor really gave us a leg up here.
• It’s intuitive to use. As in – you probably won’t find yourself using the Google machine to tap out ‘how to use Fuze Meeting iPhone.’
• It’s the only free app on the iPhone that is a client for OCS. OCS is the Microsoft Office Communicator program – like IM for the workplace, but you can’t get it on your phone for free, unless of course you use Fuze!

Calling all pseudo photographers who want free T-shirts!

I see right through you. You’re almost probably for sure definitely going to sneak into an Apple store in the near future to ogle over the iPad. While you’re waiting, swing around to the other table and take a picture of you (or…anyone) holding up an open Fuze Meeting app, send it in to community(at)fuzebox(dot)com, and maybe, JUST MAYBE you can have your very own hand cut 80’s Fuze Box T-shirt. I will personally break out the scissors and mail the sender of the email their very own sliced-up t-shirt if I deem the photo to be “totally awesome.” Awesomeness includes but is not limited to costumes, poses, puppies or Apple stores in fun locations!

Disclaimer: This is hardly a real contest and judging is completely based on my personal feelings of awesomeness. I may send 4 T’s, I may send 40…not knowing is part of the adventure! If I feel like I want to post the images on our Facebook or Tweetshare pages, then I will. So don’t send something you don’t want public. And good luck!
