The Planet Project™
A survey of the world's peoples.
PocketMail proudly provided PocketMail BackFlips™ and Palm OS® programming expertise to the Planet Project. The PocketMail BackFlip was used from many places around the world to send survey results during the Planet Project's survey of the world's peoples.
"With 500 Planet Pollsters of varying degrees of technical ability in 116 countries, transmitting all of the data from the handheld computers to the Mission Control Center is definitely a challenge," said Rick Smolan, Director of The Planet Project.
"A normal modem doesn't work because every location requires a different phone connector and there are issues of line noise, ambient noise, old creaky analog phone systems - a complete telecommunications Tower of Babel. The one solution to all of these problems is The PocketMail BackFlip from Pocket.com. With the push of a single button, the collected data will be transmitted seamlessly to Mission Control."
