iPhone And Palm WebOS Gets Google Voice.

Google Voice comes to iPhone and Palm WebOS snapvoip.blogspot.com
We all know the saga of Google Voice App for iPhone which is yet to be approved was replaced with a web based solution, while we wait! (Apple testers must be asleep, shame on you Apple and AT&T)
Android and BlackBerry users are already enjoying the Google Voice App. I have it on my Google Phone and I am yet to place it on my blackberry.
But I am happy with the Google Voice webapp for the iPhone which is available from m.google.com/voice. The webapp is also availble for Palm Phones with WebOS, Nokia S60 and WinMo and others from the same address.
HTML5 app is fast and features like AppCache lets you interact with web apps without a network connection and local databases allow you to store data locally on the device.

You get one number for all your calls and Free SMS messages (Yes Free) and you get voicemail transcription, a lovely feature for those who yse a phone, any phone.
The free text messages is the way to beat those high priced testing from all the careers I know.
You can also make interbnational calls for lower cost and you can check out all these features on the Google Voice mobile site

PoMMeS tablet Is Not An Apple Tablet Even though Pommes=Apple!

PoMMeS tablet snapvoip.blogspot.com

A french firm Thomson and Technicolor has released information about a new tablet computer via a FCC filing. The tablet is known as  PoMMeS tablet (Pommes in French means Apple) and is funny to find out at the time of the Apple Tablet release. Perhaps to confuse all of us even more about them apples and tablets. The device it too thick and ungainly to be an Apple Tablet, even if French speaking people believes it's name!
The images of the product lead us to believe it is rather cheap knock off than a contender to the Apple tablet. The device seems to be manufactured in China by PCCW and sports a 800X400 LCD Touch screen, webcam, mic and audio out and an USB port. Under the hood it has Texas Instruments DaVinci and Xilinx logic chips, leading us to associate the device with IPTV, Video and VoIP conferencing.
