With a newborn baby to show off, Eric Setton was looking for a way to do video calling on the go. And he wanted to be able to reach people on any smartphone or network, which his iPhone’s FaceTime application can’t do.
So Setton and business partner Uri Raz created a videoconferencing app called Tango that connects phones from different makers, across any network, carrier or geographic boundary. The software has caught on with users. More than 1 million people downloaded the app within its first 10 days.
