A new service has launched offering a free and easy way to let people call your cell phone or landline via a Web page, without ever knowing your number. LetsCall.Me couldn’t be simpler: You register an account, get a custom URL (letscall.me/username), and then start using the service. In registering, you give the site only your name, e-mail address, and the phone number you want to use. All of that information can be kept private. ...

Tatung VOIP könnte eine gute Vorlage für Internet-Telefone sein. Tatung VOIP: Reduziertes Design mit Touch-Pad In Sachen VOIP bewegt sich im Moment viel auf dem Markt, aber meist nur dann, wenn es darum geht, bestehende Telefonieprodukte mit VOIP Fähigkeiten zu versehen. Das Tatung VOIP ist dagegen ein Telefon, das rein auf Voice-over-IP aufsetzt und zusätzlich noch einen Skype-Hotkey hat. Zudem ist das Design mehr als auffällig: die totale Reduktion ist gleichermaßen bei Designern, wie Kritikern ...

Filed under: Gaming, PeripheralsWe know, we know -- you already know most everything there is to know about Sony's SOCOM PS3 Bluetooth headset, but up until now, the most important tidbit has remained a mystery. The device will be launching this fall as part of the SOCOM: Confrontation bundle for $59.99, or if you just loathe the whole SOCOM series, you can pick it up all by its lonesome for $49.99.

Da voipping: Finalmente anche Telecom Italia, dopo mesi e mesi di tentativi per tutelare il suo non sempre amato canone telefonico anche facendo pagare, grazie all’intervento dell’Autorità Garante delle Comunicazioni, un canone extra agli operatori che volevano fornire un servizio di ADSL nuda, ha deciso di cambiare rotta e cavalcare a tutta forza l’avvento della telefonia VoIP. La più grande società telefonica italiana infatti non ha intenzione di cadere e lasciare spazio alla concorrenza, già ...

With Google’s Chrome browser announcement and revelation of plans by Microsoft to roll out an iPhone app store competitor, all eyes should be on Windows Mobile. A quick recap of the long weekend’s news: After saying two years ago Google had no plans to develop its own browser, Eric Schmidt and Co. are doing just that — and, ironically, using the same codename (”Chrome”) Microsoft used years back for a multimedia browsing technology.

While not a surprise to many in the Mobile VoIP space, Tesco has launched their Freshtel Mobile VoIP service in Australia. Now here's my speculation. Australia is a wonderful market to trail things in. The country has very solid IP networks from Telstra. It is an English language country. Mobile is well thought of there and in many ways its a greenfield market. Tesco also has stores in the UK and is expanding into the ...

Come letto anche su Blogvoip, lo standard WiFi 802.11n fatica ancora ad affermarsi, ma il nuovo 802.11r è recentemente stato approvato ed è destinato soprattutto ad un utilizzo in mobilità, grazie ad una specie di roaming tra gli access point wireless. Il nome preciso di questo standard è Fast Basic Service Set Transition e permetterà ai terminali dotati di WiFi di effettuare chiamate VoIP in viaggio senza il rischio di perdere la connessione, dato che ...

Nei giorni scorsi l‘Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) ha standardizzato il nuovo formato di rete Wi-Fi con il codice 802.11r migliorando portata e tempi di connessioni per le comunicazioni VoIP. Dopo l’introduzione da qualche anno della versione 802.11n, sono finalmente state rese note le specifiche della nuova versione. Molte aziende si erano arrangiate per ovviare al problema con le attuali reti, ma ora in molte tra cui Aruba si sono dette favorevoli all’utilizzo ...

Thanks to the Truphone blog, I’ve confirmed that the Nokia E71 hasn’t a problem in the world allowing you to use Truphone for SIP calling around this globe. Truphone uses your phone’s WiFi or 3G data connection to place SIP calls (kinda like VOIP) at a much cheaper rate than your regular plan minutes, specifically when calling internationally. Calls to other Truphone customers are free, though. Note that when you install Truphone, you’ll get a ...

PC World reports that the long awaited 802.11r standard has been finalized and approved by the IEEE, the standards body that determines much of what goes into our personal electronics and communications equipment. This means that finally WiFi phones can really come into their own, and that roaming between hotspots and even networks becomes much more stable and reliable. While mostly beneficial to the Enterprise market, this is a solid step in the right direction ...

Om's post of this past Thursday, aimed squarely at Comcast, asks the question "Where's the Meter?" That reminds me of the old Wendy's commercial, "Where's the Beef" and at the same time "Show me the Money" from Jerry McGuire fame. Here's my take. 1) Cable companies have never cared how much tv you watch. 2) Cable companies have used UNLIMITED telephone calls to take customers away from the telcos. 3) Cable MSOs have become the ...

All week long there has been a persistent story making the rounds about Nokia dumping VoIP support from upcoming phones. This scribe even played a part in spreading the story… and it turns out to have been untrue. Charlie, over on the Nokia Conversations blog, acknowledges that the VoIP client is missing from the N78 and the N85. He also provides the following by way of clarification: There’s no conspiracy here, no pressure from operators. ...

Quality of Service is a contentious subject. Every now and again, I look at Wikipedia's QoS page. (Here are my comments 18 months ago). While the Wikipedia content continues to evolve, it always downplays anything that questions the value of sophisticated QoS. As of today, the section titled "QoS Problems" has been cut back to a single sentence (which does reference a classic anti-QoS paper): "Internet2's QoS Working Group concluded that increasing bandwidth is probably ...
