SCO Group — best known for an attempted extortion of Linux users — will next month launch “a mobile digital service that lets handheld devices distribute voice and text messages to groups and individuals, as well as record and display real-time research data”. The system works from a Unix server and is branded Me Inc. An example of its use: “Utah State University recently used a Me Inc. multimedia feature called Shout to alert the school’s sports booster organization to a game cancellation when Hurricane Katrina prevented the Louisiana-based Nicholls State University team from coming to Utah…”Using Shout, I was able to inform hundreds of USU boosters of our game cancellation with a simple 12-second audio message from my Treo,” Tom Hale, executive director of Utah State’s Big Blue booster program, said in SCO’s statement.”
