When Will We Have Google Video Chat On Android Phones?
I’ve been using video chat on computers and phones for a long time now. Well it seems like it but it’s probably only been a few years. Anyways with the launch of FaceTime on Apple equiped products I have seen a surge of people using video chat. Lot’s of tv/news shows use Skype to do [...]
Skype Is Now Giving Nimbuzz The Boot
Oh great, Skype is flexing it’s little pasty arm again. After this summers ordeal with Skype banning Fring for “breach of its API terms” it’s doing the same again with Nimbuzz now. It was inevitable but still disappointing. Skype is heading toward an IPO so it seems as if it’s tying up any loose ends but truth [...]
Why isn’t there IM in Google Maps Rant
Warning, I’m about to RANT: I’m a huge fan of Google Maps. It’s really a great stand alone app and it keeps getting better but I’m amazed that when they added Latitude they did not include (even just a basic form of) instant messaging with your Latitude friends. Latitude shows you were your friends are [...]
Nokia E72 lets you Leave Your Point & Shoot Camera at Home
So I’m very excited about the E72. It’s going to rock, blah blah blah, I can talk about it for hours. I think it will change a few things for many people. It looks like your average QWERTY keyboard phone, it will have good email (I use emoze), it will hopefully include Ovi Contacts (but [...]
When will we have one inbox for all communications?
I use messaging a great deal, from sms to email to instant messaging to Twitter to video chat to voice mail (unfortunately), I spend a lot of time communicating. I was thinking recently when will we see messaging apps evolve again? I’m hoping Google Wave will help but I don’t think it will take it [...]
Why aren’t more people on Ovi Contacts (IM)?
I’m not here to criticize my friends or Nokia or my friends at Nokia. Nor do I want to pressure them. But I haven’t seen all that many people on Ovi Chat. I know what you’re going to say, I don’t need another IM ID. Well I know lots of people who signed up for [...]
Congrats to Nimbuzz
My friends over at Nimbuzz announced some exciting news yesterday. They have finally updated their app and it now includes VOIP. They are focused on bridging the 3G VoIP gap on the iPhone – anywhere. Here are some highlight of the new app. >With free Wi-Fi calls to instant messaging buddies already available, we added [...]
NeuStar adds presence into your handsets contact list
My good friend Cian over at GoMo News wrote about NeuStar during Mobile World Congress and I’m just reading about it now. I’m really excited because of what they are doing. NeuStar is incorporating presence into the Telecom Italia (TIM) service. In your handsets phone book they will show you how your contact wants to [...]
San Jose Airport WiFi is a ZERO
I was in San Jose airport last week waiting to fly home and was told there was free wifi. I had a few hours to kill and I went to the Bits & Bytes bar, plopped down ordered a Tuna sandwich and a beer expecting to spend a few hours working. Well, low and behold, [...]
