Canada’s Rogers Wireless is renaming its in-home WiFi calling service (think T-Mobile’s HotSpot@Home) from Home Calling Zone to Talkspot. The much-easier-to-remember name is the only change you’ll see. Scrap that, if you’re not visiting Rogers’ stores or look at their ads, you won’t even see that. It’s just another way to trick new user to sign-up for the service. Actually it’s not a trick, we love in-home WiFi calling – it saves money and actually makes you go beyond pure BitTorrent-ing. Did I just said BitTorrent? Stop reading here, sign-up for the service — you’re going to love it! 
Anyway, as I’ve just said, Rogers’ offering remains the same and so does the two phones they’re pushing with the service – the BlackBerry Pearl and Nokia 6086… More information about Talkspot is available from here.

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.
