While lots of Skype news today is about their new rates my rummaging around in the details finally got me to take a look at SkypeToGo. SkypeToGo creates a local number for you to dial into. You can also assign up to six frequent names or use it as a way to dial PSTN numbers […]

Fring - the All in One iPhone App
04.15.08 | Stuart | Permalink | 5 CommentsI’ve been reading the hype today about the first iPhone VoIP app. Fring Beta iPhone launched today. What we read is all wow wow. What we have is a Fring beta on an unsupported platform that works and still needs work. I’m impressed and not impressed at the same time. As a proof […]

What’s Mobivox Really Listening For?
Nitzan Shaer from Mobivox a company I’ve written about before does “calling by name”. So it’s nice to learn something new and glimpse into the model of how they tune their IVR - voice recognition. Turns out they listen to more than just me saying your name.
He starts with a story that brings […] -

eComm Impact on The Future of Social Networks
Today I bookmarked a presentation by Charlene Li on “The Future of Social Networks“. I’d really like to spend more time commenting on it. However, I’m going to use it as a setup some eComm thoughts which starts tomorrow. I’ll be there and looking to put a new “lens” on advancements and where to find […]

What’s Your iPhone Strategy? Speculation or Prediction
A few years ago the strategy question for anyone in and around communications was “What’s your Skype strategy?”. Last year just after the Facebook API was launched it was common practice to ask: “What’s your Facebook strategy?“. Today, you need answers to “What’s your iPhone strategy?”.
I’ve got a few friends which I’ve passionately talked […]

eComm - rethinking the thinking -
03.05.08 | Stuart | Permalink | 2 CommentsI’m looking forward to eComm on March 12 to 14. Although I had to wonder about “radical innovation” tied to Skype, Google and Ribbit.
eComm™ is a brand new telecom event for those interested in radical innovation and seizing the next opportunity wave. Skype will open day one, Google day two and Ribbit day three. […] -

Voice Enabling the iPhone - iAssistant?

Truphone New Pricing Fails to Motivate
I’ve been a big fan of the platform that Truphone is building which provides mobile VoIP primarily on Nokia WiFi enabled handsets. N81, N80, N95, etc. Early on I found their codec more efficient. They also innovated recently on Facebook with their own app and last week with Iotum and Free Conferencing. For all intensive […]

Iotum - Facebook’s Global Free Conferencing App
Alec Saunders has been writing in the VoIP space now for as long as I can remember. He’s also seen his company Iotum go through a number of iterations. So its interesting today to see how a group of small VoIP companies Truphone, Abbeynet can collaborate to provide a product that none of them could […]

VoIP 2008 Dawn of a New Year - Belated Post
I wrote the post below after finding I was listed as one of the top 25 VoIP bloggers in 2007. Then my recent blogging performance has been appalling and dropped me off the map. From time to time I just get blogger block and I’m trying to get back! I also write many things […]

Mobivox - “Connecting You and Me by Name”
02.19.08 | Stuart | Permalink | 3 CommentsA few years ago I went to CES2005 in search of new VoIP products. At the time I came across VoxLib a product that could make and receive Skype calls on a normal home phone. When you picked up the phone you got VoxGirl who asked… who would you like to call. There were many […]

Spinvox - Voice to Status Updates
11.13.07 | Stuart | Permalink | 3 CommentsToday I tested various Facebook applications for status updates. I added Spinvox an application that provides a voice to text facebook and twitter update service. Just dial a +18xx-4SPOKEN number from your mobile after you are registered and your status is updated. Spinvox has been around for awhile. In the UK they were providing a […]

Stalked by your Mobile
Jeremy writes an excellent post on Jaiku’s purchase by Google. Stowe noted it’s ramifications for telephony and others being blindsided (I agree with this and Google is being underestimated). Aswath takes another angle in referring to OAuth. Identity is certainly in the mix. I’ll only be happy when it is under my control; networked, searched […]
