Macsimum News: How long have you been in business ?
Fullerman: We have been in business since 1996. In this time we have concentrated on mobile data solutions for the Mac OS. Actually, we started with a PC datacard for the Apple Newton way back when.
Macsimum News: Do you cater to any particular market niche?
Fullerman: Our market niche is the Mac users forgotten by the mobile world out there. The ones who want to use their mobile devices with a Macintosh—and cannot. We offer a mobile connection suite called launch2net, a mobile phone suite called FoneLink, as well as as iSync phone plug-ins and more solutions to be mobile with the best computer there is: a Macintosh!”
Macsimum News: What is special or different about nova media.

Macsimum News: How has the introduction of such products as the iPod, iPhone and Apple TV affected the Mac end of your business?
