PamFax user base growing fast

Two days ago we reached the 21.000 user mark. This means a stellar growth of the PamFax user base and shows that there is a huge demand for B2B services in Skype. We are currently adding more then a 1.000 new users per week and this number is also growing strongly. We have added Amazon and direct PayPal payments to PamFax which have made the service even more attractive.

In addition the latest PamFax version increases the number of ways you can submit a fax. In the past this was only possible in the client directly and via Microsoft Office. Now you can also print your document to PamFax from any application.

Our next step is to get PamFax officially Skype certified and get it listed as Skype Premium Extra. This means that PamFax will be much more easily accessable from the Skype menu Tools, Do More.

Two things people ask for most are Fax-In capability and Mac version. We are looking at how to offer Fax-In as a subscription and will post an update here as soon as there is some news. A Mac version would be really cool, but the main limitation here is that the Skype Extras Manager subsystem which hosts PamFax is not available on Mac. This is the module that also does the payment with Skype Credit. We are looking at alternative ways.

Please keep the feedback coming and should you have issues please take a look at the forum (which has had a major overhaul): www.pamfax.biz/forum.

Buy on eBay using your Nintendo Wii

Do you have a Nintendo Wii? It’s a very cool and innovative game console for the living room. Nintendo has already sold nearly 22million nearly 24million units worldwide (see www.vgchartz.com).
As it’s usually connected to the internet, we thought it would be a good idea to be able to search and browse eBay’s auctions on it and even place bids and buy items with your Wii controller. The program also has very useful audio/visual notifications when something happens in your eBay auctions and gives you access to all items in your “My eBay”.

Here you can see a video of the current development status:

Anyone knows someone over at Nintendo? This is perfect to be added to the Wii main start screen, isn’t it?

New TapiRex 1.6 available

TapiRex was updated to version 1.6: this version contains some improvements in stability and handling. For example, Outlook contacts are now buffered in TapiRex so that access to them is much faster now.

We have also added a TapiRex API so that every software developer can use some of the functionalities from TapiRex in his own software (do something on a call, start calls, …). We are looking forward to your cool plugins to TapiRex. Just contact us if you need a helping hand on how to start a TapiRex plugin….

PamFax soon with Amazon Payments support

Amazon Payments will soon be available to PamFax users in USA as alternative to Sype Credit.

Amazon Payments is a simple payment system that uses your Amazon account to pay for the fax. So if you don’t have any Skype Credit but still want to send a fax, we have an alternative for you. The cool thing about it is, is that you just pay for the fax you send so no upfront payments, no subscriptions, no additional cost, no registration.

We don’t have an exact timeframe, but it will not be long. As you see from the screenshot below we’re already pretty much finished with the integration. Stay tuned!
