The service lets Gmail users make free calls to U.S. and Canada and inexpensive calls to phones in other countries. It uses Gmail as an interface and optionally can integrate with Google Voice to receive calls as well.

That is pretty amazing and just shows how many using or have gmail.

Jailbreaking is hacking the phone’s OS to allow consumers to run any app on the phone they choose, including applications not authorized by Apple.

When your finger or hand touches a spot on the phone’s lower left side—an easy thing, especially for lefties—the signal can significantly degrade enough to cause you to lose your connection altogether if you’re in an area with a weak signal.

The tests also indicate that AT&T’s network might not be the primary suspect in the iPhone 4’s much-reported signal woes.  Which is very good news for AT&T which has been beaten up lately.

Apple seems to be clicking on all cylinders and has become one of the biggest technology companies in the world.

The new Iphone has sold at a rate faster than all previous version and in comparison to all of Apples’ other products.

The iPhone 4 is a dramatic redesign. It manages to pack a radically sharper screen; a second, front-facing camera; a larger battery; a better rear camera with flash; and a faster processor into a body that is 24% thinner, a bit narrower, and retains the same length and weight as its predecessor’s. In fact, Apple claims that the iPhone 4 is the world’s thinnest smartphone and sports the world’s highest-resolution smartphone screen.

With the front-facing camera, and clever new software called FaceTime, Apple has brought simple, high-quality video calling to mobile phones, albeit, for now, only over Wi-Fi and only among iPhone 4 owners. In multiple tests, this feature worked very well for me and is a classic example of the value of having one company do integrated hardware and software.

I really like this new phone overall.  It includes some excellent multi tasking functions.  But don’t kid yourself, its not going to replace your Blackberry that you used for work but it does everything else that you want it to do.

The solution is to switch to a IPv6 format but everyone has to switch to it.  There are also new hardware and systems that have to be converted to make the changes.  The problems is that not everyone is moving quickly to make the switch.  So until every company and businesses makes the change, under the current system, we will run out of ip addresses in the near future.

Don’t worry this does not however concern the domain name sector.

Sony will also be making a new smartphone.  The phone will contain Sony Ericsson mobile technology and capable of playing PSP games – to compete against the iPhone. Both devices are expected to work with Sony Online Services, an online store due to launch in March and sell music, movies, books, and other downloadable applications for mobile products.

Both these products will be launch sometime in 2010.

These calls will go over Verizon’s network, not using cellphone plan minutes.  Minutes would be deducted to use Skype to call regular phone numbers in the US.

In the next few months we will have a better idea where Apple’s Iphone is headed.
