Month: September 2006

I spoke to the Product Manager of RTX by phone today, regarding some remaining issues in the DualPhone.:

1) Thanks to my letter they started to investigate about the CallerID problem and found out that there are 2 different Caller ID systems in New Zealand and they only were aware of 1 of them. They found a partner that can give them details about the competitor Caller ID system and it will be fixed.

2) The echo problem with the phone in Germany will also be tracked down and fixed.

3) The phone will receive an update to ensure full Windows Vista compatibility.

They weren’t aware of either problem, yet. When the firmware/suite update will be released they cannot tell but the DualPhone will be kept supported and updated as long as rquired.

I decided to post it here, too, incase one or another is interested in it! 🙂

Is Skype soon to be blocked in Marocco?

The freedom, the fact that every communication inside Skype (IM, voice, video, SMS, file transfer, landline/mobile calls) is encrypted, the fact that it’s cheap and good quality makes Skype more and more hated in non-freedom countries and others.

Also Brazil, China and the United Arabic Emirates got issues with Skype blocking.

More about the Marocco case can be read atMaroc IT.

At the moment I cannot comment with my Blogger account to Blogger blogs, because the the login system has been changed and I cannot post anymore since I switched my account to Google accounts and Blogger in Beta and now I receive the above error message. Well, so I have to enter my details in the comment boxes manually. I hope the new blogger software will leave beta status very soon! 🙂
