Seeing as we are more than a little keen on mobile VoIP applications it is a little strange that we haven’t devoted any space to Gizmo before, but now that the application has had an update (albeit a minor one) now seems as good a time as any to get on board.
The S60 based VoIP client (which is available for free download from the Nokia Beta Labs website now) offers free internet calling and instant messaging via wifi, 3G and 2G networks. The recent update adds a few new and clever tricks to the service.
Most notably, the ability to be logged in on your PC and on you handset at the same time so that when you receive a call, both your PC and mobile ring simultaneously. Additionally, Gizmo now marks people in your contact list who are unavailable or on another call by changing their status icon blue.
Gizmo is currently interoperable with AIM, Yahoo, Windows Live (MSN), MySpaceIM, and support for Jabber and iChat is promised soon. Lovely stuff and encouraging to see that it is available via the Nokia Beta Labs website. We’ll be keeping an eye on this one for sure.
