Mobile voice recognition TellMe wants to go public

TellMe provides the service that cellphone users like to see more often: Voice web browsing on their mobile. The voice-activated tool is already used by Yahoo and Microsoft mobile services as well as Cingular more recently. Partners big and solid enough to let the company created by the ex-Netscape VP for technology, Mike McCue, envision an IPO.
According to Business 2.0, TellMe is going public some time this year. Lise Buyer has been hired for the job; she helped Google through its IPO. TellMe has a shiny profile: It is profitable since 2004 on an estimated $100 million revenue. And the current trend of moving everything on the computer to the cellphone gives a perfect environment to the company.
But that doesn’t mean it’s going to succeed. Last year, the most anticipated public introduction of a VoIP company was Vonage. Unfortunately for Vonage, it was a mess and still is a mess.
