I’m a loyal cable guy for now, but this probably is good news to many people… the price is actually quite competitive, though I am capable of getting up to 6MB down…
Though Verizon has yet to issue a press release or official announcement, our users are now ordering and receiving 3Mbps/768kbps DSL service. Only customers [...]

The Vonage Softphone forums have a few posts on this and while it’s not supported, it definitely works. I don’t have and probably won’t be getting a PPC device, but for those of you with WIFI PPC’s and a Vonage account, you might be quite happy reading this… The Softphone service is pretty [...]

As I mentioned in the previous post I am using the Vonage softphone to handle my calls while I am out of range for T-Mobile this week. I just did an interesting trick I thought I’d share for the other person who might find this interesting. my T-Mobile mobile is forwading to my [...]

I am currently in Vermont with my family getting away from the hubbub in NYC this week. I had no idea my mobile was going to be out of service here and was stressing a bit about how I would stay connected for work purposes … until I recalled that nice feature of Vonage, [...]

I disagree with this post of Rick Bruner’s, but I am too tired to really rant. At the moment, Rick’s key argument against the use of RSS in business is that such a small percentage of people are using it. It’s hard to argue on numbers alone… RSS is still in it’s infancy. [...]

This site was just linked in my comments on the previous post and shows who really owns your number… pretty interesting to decode the players based on your phone numbers. Looks like Vonage is buying from quite a few players and Verizon, not surprisingly is a primary seller. It’s also interesting to note [...]

And yet another article covering the VOIP market… The NYT takes on AT&T CallVantage. The more I’ve thought about it since my last post on the topic, the more it seems like AT&T is really pushing this harder than Vonage. I realize Vonage has yet to really launch a consumer campaign, but do [...]

While I’ve been using Blogstreet’s Info Aggregator to send RSS feeds to an IMAP email box I’ve looked into additional methods as well to see if I might find an even better way to do things.
To quickly sum up what you might have missed on Info Aggregator — The service is free and [...]

Assuming this is the reality, it’s quite disappointing to hear. Though I am primarily a Mac user I was really interested in seeing Redmond push the limits. If anything this is a fantastic opportunity for Apple to really hit a homer with Tiger. It will give them an enormous technology lead and [...]

I walk away for a few minutes and discover that a whole host of new pictures were posted and discussed at TreoCentral, leading to even more at Engadget and of course Treonauts…
Whether you call it the Ace or not is up to you, but the official name seems to be the Treo 650. Seems [...]

Andy points to an article in today’s Wall Street Journal about the looming price war in the VoIP sector. Price war for all voice services is more like it, and in many ways this is the second phase of telecom’s financial meltdown. [Om Malik's VoIP Daily]

I’ve been a beta tester on SnappperMail 2.0 for a long time. I honestly can’t even tell you when it started it’s been quite a while and I’ve been generally pleased with the product. SnapperMail is much like a traditional email client. It offers multiple POP3 accounts, can send through different accounts [...]

While Mailwave actually came out before Chatter Email, it was not quite as ready for primetime until now….
Push and background capabilities within email applications is becoming a must-have feature and I’d expect customers to be demanding it soon enough from SnapperMail, AgendusMail and others. For me, it’s a personal choice… I like [...]

It’s clear to me that Vonage is in deep now since ATT CallVantage has really been pushing their service out on a very mass, very aggressive level. As I evaluated VOIP services I considered both but felt I should go with Vonage since I had read so many favorable things about the service and [...]
