The Macsimum interview: PocketMac

Macsimum: How long have you been in business?

Goggin: We've been in business for seven years now. The company started when Terence Goggin, our CTO and founder. realized that there was no Mac-to-Pocket-PC sync tool and from there we've created PocketMac for BlackBerry, the original Mac-to-BlackBerry sync solutions and many more.

Macsimum: Do you cater to any particular market niche?

Goggin: We cater to early adopters in the Mac market who want the latest devices and gadgets to work with their Macs. That's our largest market segment.

Macsimum: What differentiates PocketMac from other companies?

Goggin: We specialize in solving problems for our customers on the Macintosh. From synching over 430 devices to our constant development of new products, we try to anticipate and fulfill the needs of our customers that aren't being met. The product that most powerfully illustrates this is PocketMac for BlackBerry which syncs Macs to BlackBerry handhelds. This is such a useful tool for the Mac market and the BlackBerry field that Research In Motion licensed it from us two years ago. Simply put, our goal is to continually develop solutions for Mac users that make their life easier and simpler.

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

Goggin: Well, we always try to add on to such devices but honestly it hasn't affected our business all that much. There's some overlap but not as much as you might think.
