The Windows Phone 7 race has begun, as we have Voxofon issuing a press release to announce they are the first company to bring mobile VoIP to Microsoft’s upcoming mobile platform. The weird thing, though, is that Windows Phone 7 is still not available, but that “minor point” shouldn’t stop anyone from saying they are the first.
Anyway, Voxofon promised that its future WinMo 7 users will be able to save up to 98% (over traditional telecom prices) on international calls. Moreover, they reminded us their application is already available for other platforms, including the iPhone, Android, BlackBerry, and Palm Pre and Pixi.
Honestly, I think this whole “we are the first” idea is kinda stupid. In that sense, you could already say Voxofon for Android 3.0 is in works as we speak, but what’s the point? Besides, I doubt Skype, Truphone and other mobile VoIP companies are sleeping… It’s a slow news day, I’m sure you can tell…
