VoodooVox recently released MyVox, a free service that enables developers to easily incorporate voice into their mobile applications and web widgets. Through the MyVox API, any phone can now function as a mic, giving mobile developers the ability to “enhance any Web application imaginable with the user’s voice.” Additionally, VoodooVox also provides a new revenue stream through its VoodooVox In-Call Network (ICNx), patent-pending audio advertising network. The VoodooVox ICNx inserts targeted ad-supported media directly into the call stream, sharing revenue with its call publishers.
Publishers on VoodooVox’s In-Call Network (ICNx) currently generate over 250 million calls monthly and include VoIP providers, radio stations, call centers, 411 services, calling card companies and a number of “Voice 2.0″ companies.
Finally, to spark development of voice-enabled apps, VoodooVox is promoting the MyVox Developer Challenge, which promises up to $75,000 in prize money for innovative and popular applications.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
