"And because we have no interest in making money, we wanted to provide these services at no cost."<br /><br />The company is awaiting approval from Apple of an app that will allow access to all these features via an iPhone or iPad. An app for the Blackberry is in the works, Clarence said.<br /><br />"Given our extensive suite of features and our no-cost business model," Clarence added, "we expect to go completely out of business by next April 1."<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3958829-39399003684152012?l=www.legaline.com%2Flawsites.html' alt='' /></div>
