Clearly, you are not familiar with tech crunch comments. It's only natural to discuss alternatives to any product mentioned here. What makes you think this area should be for an exclusive discussion on your product? It sounds terribly "desperate" on your part to be bashing ordinary people that are providing information with the intent of helping others. Did you pay to have this article written or something?

What are the number of people whose face is really worth placing on your "eye phone"? Additionally, image 200 contacts ...does this scale? Is it navigable via search when you have 400? So this is a little gimmick to place the photo of 4 or 5 family members on your desktop. Whoopee. Michael this was a thoughtless post on your part. This truly adds no value to iPhone users aside from children. Sorry this is idiotic. What are the number of people whose face is really worth placing on your “eye phone”?

It doesn't have the advanced image features we are offering, so any photo you might have taken with your camera in landscape mode will not work for an icon. HUGE disadvantage. And by the way, the version of Visual Dial which is currently under review by Apple does NOT have the glare effect. You can optionally switch it on and off. And: It doesn't require an Internet connection AT ALL! Major advantages versus facecall. That's maybe, why TechCrunch picked Visual Dial as opposed to any other solution?
