Agito brings BlackBerry VOIP

Agito Networks said it has stolen a march on the rest of the industry after launching a product that can deliver both VOIP and unified communications via WiFi to users of RIM's BlackBerry handsets, reports Techworld.

Agito is best known for its RoamAnywhere mobility router, which is an appliance that lets dual-mode phones connect to the company's PBX over WiFi and act as extensions. It uses location technology to determine when to hand over between WiFi, IP and cellular networks.

RoamAnywhere has previously only connected to Nokia (Symbian) and Windows Mobile devices, allowing those handsets to hold, conference, or transfer a call, as well as using the usual single enterprise number (for the desktop and mobile phone), voice, directory query and call retrieve.

Telecom equipment vendor Nokia Siemens Network will upgrade the existing mobile services network of Idea Cellular to enable it to carry high-end data - GPRS services, states Business Standard.

The services will be enabled by Nokia Siemens Networks' GPRS technology and unified charging solution (UCS evolve), NSN said in a statement.

Idea Cellular, India's fifth largest telecom operator, is upgrading its network in 22 areas to tap the lucrative value-added data services market. By March 2010, Idea subscribers will be able to enjoy multimedia messaging, e-mail, Web browsing, online music and other innovative mobile services, it said.

LG has released the Tritan, a smartphone with a 3-inch touch-screen and a sliding qwerty keyboard. It has a 3-megapixel camera/camcorder, 3G capability, and a 16GB microSD card slot, writes I4U.

The Tritan bears a lot of physical similarities to the G1 smartphone. Its keyboard looks a little cramped, but the UI looks relatively non-terrible.

There's nothing special about this smartphone, and the Tritan is a little puny compared to other smartphone contenders, but you really can't beat its price for a budget smartphone.
