For those who have never heard about the potential of VoIP, be prepared to radically change the way you think about your current long-distance calling plan. VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) is very simply, a method for taking ordinary analog audio signals and turning them into digital signals that can be sent over the Internet.

People feel the need to communicate, either to share information or just to have fun. As usual, technology is there to give a helping hand to people and make their lives easier. Communication was made very simple when the telephone was invented. Sounds were transmitted over long distances in a matter of seconds. Now something [...]
VoIP, or Voice over Internet Protocol, is a complicated term for the fairly simple process of using your internet PC to make phone calls. VoIP has expanded in popularity recently and is now seen as a viable alternative to the humble telephone call.
VoIP uses packet switching as opposed to the more traditional circuit switching used [...]
VOIP stand for Voice-over-Internet protocol. At a very basic level it is the idea of using a data network to transfer voice between two points. Although voip has become a buzz word in recent years has it origins as far back as the early 1970s. The pioneering work of Danny Cohen at the University of [...]
For years we’ve relied on the telephone in order to keep in contact with one another, which is particularly useful for those with family in other countries or serving in the forces.
Now as technology moves on, so does our method of communicating with each other. Now the trend of communication appears to be switching to [...]

The new PSP, the PSP 3000, will arrive in the UK on October 17 and will be priced at £150.
That makes Sony’s new handheld £10-20 more expensive than the PSP Slim & Lite, which seems reasonable enough considering the tweaks. However, rather than being a big overhaul - like the PSP Slim & Lite was versus the original - the new PSP is more of an Overhaul Lite.
The key tweaks are a new enhanced LCD display with improved colour reproduction to reduce screen glare, thus allowing you to game in daylight - something currently not possible. That pleasure though will cost you 20-30 mins of battery life. The other key add-on is the built-in microphone, to let you make free Skype calls.

Californian internet telephony specialist Jajah has clinched an important deal with computer chip designer Intel which will put its cheap-rate telephone service in easy reach of consumers and potentially halt a decline in the take-up of so-called VoIP services.
Under a deal to be announced today, Jajah’s voice over the internet technology will be integrated into a new generation of Intel chips that include the company’s Remote Wake technology, meaning calls can be taken even when a computer is in standby mode.
Integrating the technology into the chip means computer manufacturers, and increasingly broadband providers who want to give PCs away to customers signing up to long-term contracts, can supply machines that can make cheap calls using the web straight out of the box.
Until now, VoIP services, such as Skype, have relied upon consumers downloading and correctly installing software. More than half of all computer users have never downloaded any software from the internet let alone experimented with VoIP.
Jajah has more than 10 million users across the world and is backed by the venture capitalists who put cash into Google and Apple.
The deal with Intel means manufacturers will be able to provide computers that have Jajah ready configured and use the machine’s own microphone, include a handset or even have a phone socket built-in which can be used with any existing phone. Jajah allows users to call any fixed or mobile phone anywhere in the world for a fraction of what they would normally pay.
