Noise-cancelling headphones have become a common sight on airline passengers. Jabra has added this technology to its latest Bluetooth headset.  

Headset specialist Jabra has announced a pair of entry-level professional wireless headsets. One is intended for use with conventional desk phones, the other with unified communications applications, softphones, and applications such as Skype.

Australian ISP, iiNet and global unified communications vendor, Polycom have teamed up to offer small and medium businesses a new, hosted telephony solution called Business Voice which the two companies say enables a business to easily adapt to its ever-changing needs without the hassles and cost of maintaining a physical telephone infrastructure.

Home broadband service revenues continue to easily outstrip home voice revenues in the Asia Pacific market, along with a forecast decline in consumer fixed telephone lines of 23 per cent between 2011 and 2016 in the region.

If you’ve wanted to make phone calls using Google’s Gmail Internet phone service, and haven’t been able to because you haven’t lived in the US, there good news as Google expands its service.

Google Voice for iPhone has made the leap from a web app to a native app.

Although Skype and Fring have been around for the iPhone for some time, local VoIP provider MyNetFone has developed an iPhone app that allows a single service account to work no matter where you are. We roadtest it and find that it's a great app although network performance is a huge factor in call quality and reliability.
