Morphing Cellphones Into BlackBerrys
Posted on 10.19.06 by Nikhil @ 4:05 pm

For wireless carriers, business is becoming increasingly complex. In addition to handling voice calls, the carriers are now faced with distributing games, ringtones and multimedia messaging. Even television is on its way. But one problem that the carriers still haven’t figured out is how to make sending and receiving e-mails from a cellphone easy. Now, there is a little-known company, Huntington Beach, Calif.-based Voice Genesis, that has come up with a product it calls Vemail. It could be the answer.

WiMax is coming, and 3G networks are already being rolled out. Are you profiting from wireless broadband? Click here for analysis on undervalued wireless companies set to soar.

E-mails come in and you read them. To respond quickly, you speak the response instead of trying to type a response using the tiny keys on a mobile phone. The system then records your voice and sends an e-mail to the recipient with a hyperlink. The recipient clicks on the hyperlink and hears the recording of your message.
