As we already mentioned, Poken was nominated for a TechCrunch Award: “Best Real World Gadget (EMEA)”. Guess what: It won! See TechCrunch Website for more Information. Congratiolations Poken S.A. – on to even greater things!
Just got a mail that Poken is nominated for the TechCrunch Europas under Best Real World Gadget (EMEA). Woho!
Here is a mail from the Poken S.A. Team:
This is a very exciting opportunity to be recognized as one of the most exciting start-ups in Europe by the world’s most-read technology blog and news source. So let’s get ALL our friends & family, and their friends and family to vote for us!
It will only take a few minutes of your time but could get us a lot of great press – especially as the main competitor seems to be between us and HellomynameisE
. On that note – it’s fine to say why Poken is awesome (especially f your friends say it) but please don’t engage in public debate about our product versus theirs. Let’s just *win* to show them who is boss.
If you have questions let me know. Let’s kick ass!

Pretty soon every Poken user asks the same question: “Aliens and bees are nice but what about a Poken that I can use in a business environment?” Rumors started pretty quick about a new business edition that would be presented in mid 2009. Well, here we are and no business Poken in sight, right?
I was lucky to meet the German Affiliate of Poken S.A. in Cologne and get some facts about the new business Pokens:
No information about the price except that they will be “affordable”. So it seems the “little black Pokens” will really be available pretty soon. And furthermore Poken S.A. seems to have lots of other things in the pipeline, so I’m pretty psyched about the things to come.
