The company further announced that William Quigley, Managing Director, and David Stern, Venture Partner at Clearstone Venture Partners, were elected to its Board of Directors in connection with the financing.
The company will use the funding to grow its service that allows consumers to access data and applications on their PC or Mac from any mobile handset anywhere in the world, no matter which carrier network.
