Is Gizmo Project a Skype Killer?
In addition to these essential features, Gizmo Project adds a number of new innovations (www.gizmoproject.com/features), including:
* Call Mapping that shows the two points of the call on a world map
* Call Hold with user selectable music
* Call Blocking with user selectable message from polite, to firm, to "just rude"
* Free Voicemail to email with user selectable message
* Call Recording, which one blogger called "the killer app for podcasting"
* Interactive Voice Applications, provided by Tellme (www.tellme.com), allow users to get real-time news, stock quotes, and weather...even play a game of blackjack
* Call Subject tells the person you are calling the purpose of your call before they answer, just like email
* Realtime Call Quality Indicator works like the bars on your mobile phone, showing network issues that can affect call quality
* Realtime Presence like instant messengers shows your friends when you are logged in or on the phone
