Testing I Call

I am always searching for new tech breakthroughs and I may have found a Gem for the Ipad. As you know there is no Phone on The Ipad. Skype should work nicely for a subscription price of about 3.00 a month you get 10,000 minutes of calling a month to anywhere in the USA and Canada and for a few dollars 40.00 a year you get a phone number too. Enter Icall, you get unlimited calling in the US at 5 minute chunks. Inbound access numbers let you receive incoming calls to your iCall phone app, even if you haven't purchased your own personal phone number. Just tell people to call an access number that is listed on thier website and calls are routed to your device or the free voice mail. I tested the service on my Iphone with it airplane mode but the Wi-Fi running and my calls were placed with "good" voice quality. they have an unlimited calling option for 9.95 a month that adds many nice new features. They give you a free trial of the premium features tell me what you think. A very nice Ipad option.

Google Voice and unlimited calling

I have been tweaking my Google Voice service and I love it so much. If you have a calling circle plan such as AT&T "A list" simply add your google voice number to it. Now all your calls placed from Google voice are free, The hows and whys will boggle your mind so I suggest you watch the youtube explanation of Google Voice. an invite button is at the bottom of this post

I have been using the jailbroken GV mobile app to place my calls which is in Cydia, it has a few bugs in it. I always have to enter my user name and password, what a drag. But today on my Iphone I typed in google.com/voice and pressed the + sign on the bottom of my Iphone safari browser and then elected the add to Home screen button. Now I can place calls and send free text messeges from the Iphone bypassing GV Mobile app. my password and user name is stored, my voicemails are transcribed so I can read them or play them from the Iphone safari browser because I am using the jailbroken app safari download plugin. If making unlimited calls and having a distinct number for business or naughtiness (the players and Playettes know who they are) then this service is a must have. You have to wait anywhere from 2 days to 2 weeks for Google to send an invite to you.Enjoy and as always I am here to guide you through the jailbreking process and offer 90 days of tech support. click on the google voice Call me button at the top of my Blog for help.

Orb is free and phenominal

Okay Orb is a fantastic feature that I loved on my PC and missed when I went to the 24 inch I mac. That service is ORB and you can try it free or buy the full version in the Itunes store for 9.99 (try it free) it is a great tool to access all your music, videos and photos PLUS with a "PC" tuner you can watch live TV (I have to try TV on the Mac soon). It almost eliminates the need for devices like sling media player as well as monthly fee software like sugar sync and simplify media. build your library add an external drive and be media happy. Your Mac/PC must have an always on connection and you need to download the software for your Mac or PC as well as the Itunes app store software.

No Ipad video

I am a little upset about the Ipad not having a camera BUT there is a theoretical work around.
If you can capture an image with the apps Qik or Fring which has a 1 sided video chat and work on the Ipad and feed it to the Ipad using software, problem solved. But how do you create this hack to feed the image via USB or Bluetooth I'm working on it. Do you have any suggestions? I'd love to hear them

Free WiFi

No fee Wi-Fi is on the increase according to Roger Yu of the USA today. Great news for those buying Ipads with the wifi only connection. The list of airports are Houstons Bush airport, which offers 45 minutes at no charge but you have to watch ads. Other airports are Denver, Seattle, Boston and Las Vegas to name a few. I will be using Boingo's wifi service for 9.95 a month and I have augmented the Iphone software to feed a signal to my Ipad too.
Apple says the Ipad will have access to AT&T's hotspot network as well, which may negate me using Boingo. There are apps to show you free Wi-Fi hotspots by default in the Itunes app store too.
Let me know which Ipad you will buy and if you want to have your Iphone augmented to become a signal router.

I love Grooveshark

I love Grooveshark when it comes to listening to music. I am a VIP member at 3.00 a month for all the music I want. there are a few things that make this work on the Iphone it must be jailbroken ( Apple rejected this app from the Itunes App store) you will find this service in Cydia. You will need to be a VIP member at 3.00 a month or 30.00 for the year. It also only works on Wi-Fi unless you use "Unrestrictor3G" that is also in Cydia. Unrestrictor3G fakes out the Iphone into thinking it is always on WiFi. you can also upload your Music into Grooveshark as a way to take your collection on the road with you and save space on your Iphone/Itouch. Here is the coolest part you can save your music to play when you are offline. I will do more tests and make findings known. The possibilities are virtually endless when an expert jailbreaks your Iphone and offers years of experienced followup technical support.
