I’m sorry to see this sort of negative speculation. I do see how things can look questionable from an outside perspective. I can assure you that all of our statements have been accurate and the decision to pull the listing was a result of interest that exceeded our [already bullish] expectations. I suppose only the ultimate sale of the platform(s)
will show this to be the case. We’ll keep you posted.

Best,

Ophir

Looks like people out there are still rational enough to look for real business to acquire.

It seems like their business model was to do as little work as possible and then cash out after a trying to hype their product in tech blogs and YouTube videos. I’m with John on this one. This is just a continuation of their PR scams.

I think there are many of us that would be interested in seeing if this result is true!

No surprise. Selling a startup with a starting price of $60,000 is like selling a Ferrari with a starting price of $ 3,000. It sound like I am paying for a Eclipse.
As far as other companies buying the technology, I hope this will be add-ons rather than primary features. By the way to all Web2.0 entrepreneurs: One product is not always one Startup.
On the plus side maybe this is a business model for Mojungle. License the technology to websites which want to offer a mobile feature to their audience.
