It has been three years since TenCube won the Start-Up@Singapore business plan competition. Over the past three years, TenCube has launched their product WaveSecure and won accolades including their recent award in the “Emerging Stage Category” for Mobile Monday Peer Awards.

Since Darius and I met in the Nokia Developer Summit 2009, we decided to sit down for an interview and talked about the recent developments of >TenCube and its product, WaveSecure and how TenCube is navigating through the financial crisis and also some thoughts on their engagement with a major corporation like Nokia.

While in Nokia Developer Summit 2009, I have come across a Singaporean company, The Cell City which is participating in the “Calling All Innovators” hackathon. Their flagship product, DC2Go.net is a city guide service that is available across a wide range of digital access points. Websites, WAPsites, IPTV, digital Kiosks, and remote mobile networks such as the back of taxis or within inflight airline entertainment systems. What it makes it different is that they harnass the power of the mobile phone and have made roads in working with Nokia.
