Being “offline” is a great way to think about the online world. Over the last two days “offline” (for the most part) I have been thinking a lot about the online world, most specifically about how, in a world that is continuosly changing, does a marketer keep up with the changing ways in which people consume content online.

The iPhone’s VoIP capability is a dud.
When I first got my iPhone I was giddy over the prospects of being able to leverage the phone’s WiFi capabilities to send and receive WiFi calls. As it quickly approaches one year with my iPhone, I realize that not much has changed and that the promise that the iPhone once held for mobile voip caling is dwindling with each day.

If you were unhappy with the performance of echo suppressor in PJMEDIA, specially on mobile devices, This is partially due to AEC, Acoustic Echo Canceler cannot be used on these devices due to the high processing requirements.
PJSIP group has whipped up a completely new echo suppressor, and according to a post on the PJSIP Blog, it works better than before. I have had no time to test yet but will be working on doing so next week.
In tests conducted by the development team, on PocketPC 2003 PDA with 312MHz StrongARM CPU,(which I am using for mobile tests as well) it only used less than 0.5% (half percent) of CPU.Not only that it used a very little CPU power, it was able to suppress echoes! That indeed is good news.
The new echo suppressor is available in SVN at pjmedia/echo_suppress.c, and it will be included in the next release.

I got an interesting piece of mail from the folks at Google today. It was an offer for $250 worth of Google Adwords. While this isn’t the first time I have gotten a mailer like this, what struck me as odd is that the company name on the mailing address was “SIP TO THE SKYPE NETWORK” a company I have zero affiliation with, but whose offering is, to say the least, “very targeted” to someone in my industry and profession. (See image below).

City of Oakland has deployed Shoretel system for Unified Communications through out the City department very successfully. The deployment has began in 2003 and after multiple pilot deployments system now cover the city, except the 911 system. Rather than me blabbering about it, I will let you watch the video and find out why the city did so. I found the video on network world. The Shoretel has a report on the system as well. Even though many news sites are reporting that Shoretel replaced a Cisco system but I have not been able to find any infomation on such system. There was a small deployment of a Cisco system in one of the departments. So far the best source is the ShoreTel’s report if you are looking for details.
