iCall App Enables GSM to WiFi / VoIP Switching On The iPhone | WSI Bermuda Blog

As if my technolust for a 3G iPhone wasn’t enough, WSI Bermuda has news of a cool new app from Skype-type company iCall coming to the new Apple app store that will apparently let you switch seamlessly between VOIP over WiFi and regular cell calls. Can a killer Skype app be far behind?

No news yet, though of anyone in Bermuda being able to sell and support the iPhone (although Canada is due to finally get legal iPhones come the 3G release on July 11, but Canucks are far from happy about some of the rumoured data plans). 

And good luck finding a free public wi-fi spot in Bermuda to use something like iCall. Bermuda is still woefully lacking in this area –  Common Ground on Chancery Lane in Hamilton is the only cafe I know that has it (please feel free correct me if I’m wrong on this). For a so-called connected business centre like Bermuda, it’s shameful. 

Anyway back to the iPhone, if you want to drool a little more, check out the latest guided tour on Apple.com. I WANT ONE NOW!!! I’m loathe to buy an unlocked iPhone but if something doesn’t give this year, I may have to take the plunge.

An update to my previous post about Spanning Sync, a useful plug-in of you use both iCal and Google Calendars. They’ve just launched the public beta of v2.0 which now also syncs Address Book with GMail contacts. Some testers have reported issues with Leopard but I installed and ran it with no problems (so far). As I use GMail almost exclusively now and we rely on Google Calendar for business – its easy to share and update across systems and mobiles – this added functionality is a real bonus.
