Thu, 25 January 2007 This weeks Gtone is all about Application Driven Telephony and what people are doing from a hosted perspective as well as what is happening on the Mac. We have interviews with John Philips, Editorial Directory of Maclife Magazine, Jonathan Taylor, CEO of Voxeo and Kevin Ford CEO of Parliant. 
John Philips - Editorial Director - MacLife Magazine - the leading independent magazine devoted to today's passionate Mac users, talks about Mac Products and their reference to consumer communications use. As Apple's technology is more widely deployed it is driving computing and communications for the consumer closer together. John argues that Apple has captured the imagination of the phone using public.

At his prior start-up, he learned first hand how painful and expensive it was to build phone applications. With a desire to change the state of the industry, he founded Voxeo, a company whose goal is to enable any person or business to create and deploy telephony applications quickly and easily.

If you have been in a coma you would have not known that Apple has announced an Internet/Wide Screen IPod/Cellular phone yet to be called the IPhone. This device is nothing short of a complete transformation of the smartphones for the consumer market. This week the Guys from MacBreak critique the IPhone from the floor of the MacWorld Expo. Then we are going to take a different angle and talk about cellphone design with Jeff Han. Jeff is a research scientist for New York University's Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences. Here, he demonstrates for the first time publicly his intuitive, "interface-free," touch-driven computer screen, which can be manipulated intuitively with the fingertips, and responds to varying levels of pressure. (Recorded February 2006 in Monterey, CA. Courtesy of Ted.com ) Ross Lovegrove is an industrial designer, best known for his work on the Sony Walkman and Apple iMac. In this highly visual presentation, he presents his recent work from furniture to water bottles which is organic in form and inspired by nature. (Recorded February 2005 in Monterey, CA.
