FTC Notice

Pursuant to 16 CFR Part 255, the Federal Trade Commission's Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising, please note: (1) iPhone software and hardware developers routinely send me free versions of their products to review. I sometimes keep and continue to use these products that I did not pay for after posting my review, which might be considered a form of compensation for my review, but I do not believe that I let that color my review. (2) When I post links to product pages on Amazon, my links include a referral code so that when products are purchased after clicking on the link, I often receive a very small percentage of the sale. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. Again, I do not believe that I let that color my review of products. (3) Some of the ads that run on this website are selected by others. If one of these ads comes from the seller of a product reviewed on iPhone J.D., that is a coincidence, and I do not believe that it colors my review of that product. Other ads are from paid advertisers, and if I discuss a product from a company that is a current advertiser, I will note that. (4) Some of the ads that run on this website are from monthly sponsors of iPhone J.D. When I discuss products from these companies on iPhone J.D., I do so to pass along information provided to me by the sponsor. Often, I will also provide my own commentary on the product, and while my goal is to be honest, please keep in mind that I was compensated to promote the product. If you have any questions about this, just send me an e-mail or post a comment on a specific product review.

WebEx for iPhone

If you use Cisco WebEx to host or participate in online meetings, Cisco announced at Macworld Expo its new WebEx Meeting Center app that will allow you to attend a WebEx meeting on your iPhone. You can view the WebEx conference slides or the shared screen using the iPhone app at the same time that you participate in the audio portion of the meeting using the iPhone's phone. The app also allows you to see who else is in the meeting, chat with other participants and get details on the meeting in progress. The conference host needs to be using the latest version of the WebEx software for this to work, but there is no addiitonal charge associated with a person participating by iPhone.

You join a meeting from an iPhone either by clicking on a link in an e-mailed invitation or by choosing a meeting listed within the app. WebEx will then call your iPhone. You can find out more details in this article on eWeek.com and this article in PC World. And Cisco itself has a nice, short video on its website that shows off the features as well as a list of FAQs and this press release.
