BBGeekcast update from CTIA number 2

Posted by Joe on April 1, 2008

And we’re back, with a few BlackBerry-related updates. First up is the future of mobile VoIP — Voice over Internet Protocol. Basically, it’s Skype from your mobile phone. Sprint made a presentation talking about how mobile VoIP has developed, and the possibility of a commercial release in 2009. You can check out some past BBGeeks material on VoIP. Basically, there’s potential to converge voice and data onto one radio frequency, which should drive down costs. There will be more of this in the future. There’s also an update on SpinVox, the speech-to-text application we talked about a few weeks ago, and Slingbox, which is planning BlackBerry availability sometime this year.
