Call for FREE anywhere from your new iPhone

Rub your eyes, pinch yourself and still it will be true. Ladies and Gentlemen, introducing Truphone, a new Application available for FREE on the Appstore and with which you don’t have to worry about that international roaming when you want to call back home. For frequent flyers, or people who are always on the move (of course, this one has a catch, but what good thing doesn’t), Truphone is the perfect solution to reduce all those International Roaming Bills that have burned not juts a hole, but your entire pocket.

So here is the deal. Instead of the regular GSM network, all you need is to switch over an Internet network via Wi-Fi and voila, through Truphone you can make calls to anywhere for FREE. Anywhere? Yes, anywhere across the world -to landlines, to mobiles et al. But not all of them are for free. And here is the catch!!!

You can call to any user who has the Truphone Application installed on his/her phone. And the app supports most smartphones. Go to the official website for the details. However, if you think that I was fooling you, here’s more. The rates for international calls for anywhere from anywhere are almost uniform at landline calls rated for 0.03 GBP (0.06 US $) per minute and .15 GBP (0.30 US $) per minute for mobile calls. And that is the same if you were to call from Rio to Riyadh or from Denver to Delhi. But then, calls for US, Canada and China cellphones are again at just 0.03 GBP. How cool is that?

Now for some more good news. You can call your Google Talk friends as well from the same App. Check out the iPhone page of the website and the video almost explains it all. I think, AT&T is so much going to hate this one. Also check out the cool features page to know more about the services that the App offers. And that list contains, the already mentioned Google Talk and some more- viz. Facebook, FREE CALLS TO TRUPHONE USERS WORLDWIDE and Voicemail to email. And all you need is a Wi-Fi hotspot. So, anyone downloading this one already? Go to the Appstore on the iPhone/iPod Touch (with the iPhone 2.0 firmware ie) and search for Truphone. Or just go in your iTunes store and search Truphone. Ring Ring!!!

Here comes the Faster Google for the Better iPhone

Google’s first native app for the new iPhone 3G and iPod Touch has been just unveiled. And from what we have seen from it, it is almost too good to be true. The power of Google in yur palm, on the move, all in ONE BIG APP. It combines all the services of Google (almost) and brings it to your new iPhone and iPod Touch. And even with enhanced features like, suggested search keywords, suggested website domains, local services integrated with Google Maps and even call history search. Needless to say it is for FREE.The best part of it is of course TAP TAP TAP!!

To get the Google Mobile App, go to the App Store on your iPhone/iPod Touch or your iTunes and search for Google Mobile App. One more thing, it is still not available elsewhere but only in the US.

And what other features does it carry besides Search. Almost all the Google services which include: GMail, Calender, GTalk, Docs, Google 411, Maps, News, Notebook, Photos, Reader, Youtube and iGoogle. Check out the Youtube video after the Jump.
