"The TouchPad is an amazing platform that signals arrival of the post-laptop phase in mobile business computing," said Dmitri Tcherevik, the founder and CEO of MightyMeeting Inc.

"MightyMeeting offers mobile professionals an excellent cloud-based service that takes advantage of webOS capabilities," said Richard Kerris, vice president of webOS Worldwide Developer Relations, HP. "MightyMeeting integrates with the webOS contact and email applications, and with webOS multitasking, users can host a web conference while checking their calendars, sending IM messages or looking up a contact." MightyMeeting is designed for people who travel and must present on the road, often at a moment's notice. It is popular with entrepreneurs, executives, sales pros, doctors, researchers, and teachers in every part of the world. Every MightyMeeting user gets a private virtual meeting room. The room can be used to store presentations and demo videos. It can also be used to host online meetings with any number of participants. Meetings can be attended from a broad range of mobile devices running webOS, iOS, or Android (News - Alert). MightyMeeting alsooffers a Web-based application that requires no browser plug-ins.

"We are a global company, and if a customer calls at 9 pm on a holiday, I take the call. With MightyMeeting, I can use this call to answer my customer's questions and deliver a professional presentation, wherever I am. I am looking forward to trying the new features."
