Videophones have finally reached the living room
TECHNOLOGICAL prophets have forecast the triumph of video calling ever since 1936, when Germany’s Reichspost launched the first public videophone service. But a flurry of announcements from technology companies suggests that its time may have come at last. On October 6th Cisco unveiled a video-calling system for the living room called “umi telepresence”. The same day Logitech launched a television set-top box that doubles as a videophone. Microsoft’s new Kinect Xbox game console, due in November, offers video conferencing.
The market for professional video gear is also in flux. Skype, a service that allows users to make calls from their personal computers (PCs), is moving into corporate territory by offering video conferencing, among other bells and whistles. PCs from HP will soon come with video software from Vidyo, a start-up. And in April Cisco bought Tandberg, another maker of video gear, for $3.3 billion. …

10 Products That Would Work Better with iOS 4
June 29th, 2010 |
No Comments
Apple’s iOS 4 is one of the top mobile operating systems to ever be released. It features multitasking, folder support, an improved Mail and much more. That said, it doesn’t have all the bells and whistles that consumers will find in more capable operating systems, such as Windows or Mac OS X. But it’s not designed for that. Apple’s mobile OS is specifically created for those customers that want a simple, lightweight operating system that makes them more productive while on-the-go, or while sitting on the couch flipping through pictures on an iPad. The biggest problem with iOS 4 is that it only runs on Apple devices. It’s understandable. Apple has a top mobile operating system and it doesn’t want to lose its edge over the competition by bringing it to other devices. But that doesn’t mean that consumers and enterprise customers can’t wish for such a move. There are several devices currently on store shelves that would be vastly improved if they ran iOS 4. Here are 10 products that would be more appealing with iOS 4 installed. – …

VoxOx from TelCentris lets users make calls from PC to PC, as well as from PCs to landlines and mobile phones. The Web application, geared to compete with Skype and Google Voice, also enables video, instant messaging and two-way text messaging, file sharing and social networking into one platform. Unlike Skype or Google Voice, VoxOx lets users send instant messages to other social networks, including Skype, Facebook and MySpace. Users may also reply to Twitter tweets and surface friends with a hover effect, which lets them mouse over any contact to see their Facebook status updates and learn how to contact them.

An end, please, to the gadget features race
WHY is it so many manufacturers cannot leave well alone? They go to great pains to produce exquisite pieces of technology. Then too often, instead of merely honing the rough edges away to perfection, they spoil everything by adding unnecessary bells and whistles and unwarranted girth. In the pursuit of sales, they seem to feel they must continually add further features to keep jaded customers coming back for more. It is as if consumers can’t be trusted to respect the product for what the designers originally intended.
Occasionally, they get it right. When the little Flip Mino camcorder came out a couple of years ago, your correspondent (not an instinctive early adopter) just knew it was something he had to have. What impressed him about the design was not simply the gadget’s diminutive proportions and low price, but the way the developers had so ruthlessly resisted all the marketing pressure to add further features—and had single-mindedly maintained the design’s clarity of purpose. The Flip had one function, and one only—to fit in a shirt-pocket ready to be flipped out in a trice for those fleeting video moments. This it did brilliantly. Though the Flip’s performance has kept pace with technical improvements, subsequent versions have steadfastly maintained the designer’s original concept. …
RingCentral Offers Web-Based Phone Platform for SMBs

RingCentral leverages the cloud computing model to offer a Web-based phone system for SMBs as an alternative to traditional phone carriers such as AT T and newcomers such as Google Voice or Ifbyphone. RingCentral Office costs $99.99 per month for up to four users and includes several of the bells and whistles business users have come to associate with traditional phone and fax services.
– Much is made about Skype and Google Voice, applications that let consumers use the
Web as a medium for voice communications, but you don’t tend to hear a lot
about business phone systems living entirely in the cloud.
RingCentral aims to change that with the introduction of RingCentral Office, a …
