mobile apps, people can join a meeting anywhere they take their
mobile device – in a taxi, on a park bench, in an office or from
any location.
“GoToMeeting will be available on Android tomorrow which opens a
world of choice for our customers who rely on our application for
high-quality, secure and reliable web and audio conferencing.
Today’s announcement underscores our company commitment to helping
