SIPphone, già sviluppatrice di GizmoProject, lancia Gizmo for Mobile, un software per telefoni Java con funzionalità VoIP (callback) e Instant Messaging (compatibile con Gizmo Project, AIM, MSN, Yahoo e Gtalk)

Gizmo è l’unico software VoIP disponibile su PC, Mac, Linux, Web, Nokia N800, Nokia S60 ed ora centinaia di telefoni con supporto Java. Naturalmente è possibile utilizzare lo stesso account GizmoProject su qualsiasi piattaforma supportata.

Le funzionalità VoIP permettono chiamate internazionali a tariffe convenienti attraverso un meccanismo callback (simile a Jajah). Il software permette anche lo scambio di files tra utenti Gizmo for Mobile e Gizmo Project. E’ possibile scaricare Gizmo for Mobile in due versioni: una “Full” per i telefoni più performanti (smartphones) con tabs per le chat e trasferimento files, ed una “Lite” per i telefoni comuni.

Dalla press release:

Gizmo for Mobile saves up to 90% on calling costs and can completely eliminate text messaging and multimedia messaging fees:

- Save on International Calls: Instead of direct dialing an international number, Gizmo for Mobile places two low cost calls, one to the caller and one to the callee, and the charges are typically billed at drastically reduced rates to traditional mobile phone carrier long distance. Because both calls are inbound, no international long distance cost is charged by the mobile carrier. Instead they are billed at Gizmo’s Call Out rates (www.gizmoproject.com/rates), which are up to 90% lower.

- Text Messaging: Instant messaging replaces the need for text messaging. Other Gizmo for Mobile users can send and receive instant messages from their mobile phones for free without incurring carrier SMS fees.

- Multimedia Messaging: File transfer technology built into the software allow for pictures, audio, video or any type of file to be sent to any other Gizmo for Mobile user or personal computer user for free.
