Hi Rob,
My name is Jonathan Marquez and I was doing some research on some tall glasses of OJ and I stumbled upon your information. We are having an event at the South Beach Food and Wine Festival and I would like to talk to you and get to know more about how you created it, and if we can showcase it at our clients tent?
If you could please email me or call me back at 561-750-3500, it would be truly appreciated!
Best Regards,
Jonathan Marquez
Hey could you by chance convey to your coworkers that we need some damn Zune hardware up in here? =) I am never going to buy a friggin Ipod so I would love to see one more Zune brand product pass the doors before the hardware side of Zune dies. =)
Thank you if you ever get to reading this email, keep up the good work, Zune defiantly has grown since the good Ol’ brown and green brick. I love the work you guys do.
So if you’re ever in Ellensburg (CWU’s town) call me up and I would happily buy you a good meal and sit down and talk about Zune? Microsoft? (I hope to be a computer coder once I get through college).

I used to love the New Movie Trailers Podcast you recommended on the Zune Insider but it hasn’t updated in a while. What happened?
Sorry, backend publishing issue. It is back up and you should see new Movie Trailers again.
Hi Rob,
Hope you are well.
My name is Rob Proctor and I am the CEO at Audioboo.com, based in the UK.
I am contacting you to potentially present Audioboo and hopefully discuss how Audioboo might be able to work with yourself and Windows Phone.
We are experts at spoken word audio, especially spoken word and odcasting where we work with the likes of: The BBC, CBS, Aljazeera, Southern Cross Auatereo, News International, The Guardian and many more. Indeed we now have over 2,000 active content channels.
Our platform allows users large and small to create, upload, store, broadcast and embed their audio…..so is a very versatile creation, promotion and marketing platform for all sorts of audio content.
We recently floated on the UK stock market and are now redeveloping our range of mobile apps beyond just iOS and Android….so would love to work closely with windows phone.
Please drop me a line and hopefully we can catch up and have a chat.
Cheers for now
Rob
