GBM Interview: Celio REDFLY Execs

- Sierra Modro

I got the opportunity to meet with Kirt Bailey, President and CEO of Celio Corporation, and Brad Warnock, VP of Marketing, to discuss the new REDFLY Mobile Companion. I came across this intriguing device at CES and I've been following it closely.

I got so much good information from talking to Kirt and Brad that I can't fit it all in one post, so I'll be doing a short series over the next week.

Part 1: The device itself - technical specifications, form factor, supported platforms, etc.

Part 2: Usage models

Part 3: Target markets, availability, and my first impressions of the idea

Stay tuned for more info on the Celio REDFLY!

Give us the details!!!

Can't wait!

Looking forward to the tech specs and the availability information. This look slike a great product, and I can't wait to get my hands on one. I see this is as a huge shift in the way mobile professionals operate. We can swap our phones, get more powerful processors, without paying for the screen and keyboard over and over.

I honestly don't get it.
There's a free program called my mobiler that turns your laptop into one of those.

can said program make the mobile screen go "full screen" and at the same time tell the apps that the screen size is now bigger so feel free to fit more data onto the screen?

from that i have seen on the page it seems to only create a window that has the same size as the mobile phone screen, and thats it...

Whenever I run My Mobiler, I can't get the phone to link to the internet. Other than that it works okay if you want a tiny 240x240 windows mobile screen on your pc

What I don't get is why the Palm version of this was such a bad idea that it didn't even go into production, but the Reedley is Hot. What am I missing?

The Foleo (Palm Version) had its own operating system, and was designed to sync with the PalmOS based smartphones.

The Redfly, on the other hand has no software, OS, etc..

It simply creates a larger display for ANY WINDOWS SMARTPHONE. Now I can carry my phone, data, contacts, etc everywhere, and when I need the larger screen, keyboard, video output, I pull out the Redfly and voila!

If my phone becomes obsolete, or I want a new phone, I just connect my newer, more powerful, windows smartphone to the Redfly, and Woohoo! I'm in business.
