VoIP Roundup - Fri Feb 16, 2007
Slingbox for the Palm Treo
The Palm Treo line gets some
IPTV (Internet Protocol TV) loving with Slingbox's new wireless set top
box. You can stream TV (cable, satellite) to a Palm Treo smartphone
over your cellular broadband connection. MyTreo has an officially approved video
from a recent CES demo. Note that Treo 650 and 680 are not being
supported (650 is discontinued, which means that I'm out of luck). EVDO
continues to be a problem as far as advanced features go, so think
twice before you buy a cellular data plan with EVDO.
Wireless Chargers?
The latest in wireless technology are devices that recharge your gadgets without, well, wires. MyTreo has a picture of the Wild Charger, which sort of looks like a solar panel.
Google Talk As An Internet Radio Station
On the surface,
Google Talk appears to be an unassuming VoIM client, but there are more
features than you might think. Amit Agarwal at Digital Inspirations
gives a brief tutorial on how to get Google Talk to play MP3 files. Speaking of Internet music players, Finetune is worth checking out. Someone wrote somewhere that they thought it was a knock off of the very cool Pandora, but I disagree. Sure, they both let you create your own music playlists/ stations. But that doesn't make one a knock off.
