What does this mean?

Well, from now on you can use your iPhone, iTouch, or any mobile device that supports the Fring app to make calls using your WiFi Internet connection as opposed to your cellular network connection.

What is the advantage?

The main advantage is that at last you can call any number in the world using Skype from your cellphone.

Imagine you are on a trip outside your country an don’t want to get charged for roaming charges. All you have to do is find a free wireless network and use Fring to call any number using Skype.

How much does it cost to use Fring on the iPhone?

Nothing! The app is free so if you use Skype to call numbers you will get charged by Skype the same you would get charged if you called from your PC.

And if you call to another Skype user is absolutely free!

How is the sound quality?

Well, I have only tried it a couple of times so far and the truth is that is not that good yet, but I am sure the Fring guys are working very hard to improve this.

Where do I get the app?

After years of covert development, Microsoft says it will release a computer that uses the tabletop as its high-resolution display, recognizes objects placed on the surface and skips the traditional keyboard and mouse in favor of fingers on the screen.

See this:

What it is: A computer in the form of a table, using the hard acrylic tabletop as a high-resolution screen. First product from Microsoft’s previously secret Surface Computing team, which has 120 employees.

How it works: The surface itself isn’t touch-sensitive, but a series of cameras inside the table can see when someone places or drags a finger, hand or any other object on or across the tabletop screen. Internal projector lights screen from beneath.

Interface: People can use their hands to touch and move virtual objects on the screen, just as they would with a mouse on a traditional PC. The system also can recognize objects placed on the surface, based on their shape or on special codes affixed to them.

Size: 22 inches high, 21 inches deep, 42 inches wide, with 30-inch screen.

Technology: Uses a custom software interface on top of Microsoft’s Windows Vista. Comes with wired Ethernet, integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth wireless, hard drive and 1 GHz processor.

Initial customers: Harrah’s Entertainment, Starwood Hotels and Resorts, T-Mobile and IGT, the gaming technology company. Microsoft says consumer availability is still a few years away.

Competition: Microsoft isn’t alone in exploring this area. See a similar technology demonstrated by NYU researcher Jeff Han online at goto.seattlepi.com/r777.
