The Buzz
"..The coolest piece of geekware I've seen so far this year. HipCheck is targeted at systems administrators and other senior IT managers. It allows users to remotely monitor and control systems and networks through Smartphone's. Users can activate and de-activate processes, monitor key IT functions like storage and printers, and even receive SMS alerts when systems go down or pass certain pre-defined performance thresholds. This system looked so cool, you might literally be able to phone in your job as an IT manager. (Yes, I know that was a really lame pun, but I just could not help myself)."
-- Stephen Wellman, Informationweek.com 
"HipCheck is just the kind of application that, once installed, users cannot imagine having worked so long without."
-- Bill Hughes, In-Stat Industry Analyst
