And no suprise this is, Voice Over IP just
around the corner for cellular phone apps
and more.

Instant-messaging chat or dissing your Texas
Hold 'em opponents on the iPhone just got
one step closer. Global IP Solutions (GIPS)
has announced the release of its
near-ubiquitous voice-over IP (VoIP) developer
software for the iPhone engineering crowd.
GIPS VoiceEngine Mobile is a development toolkit for iPhone software developers who want
to add voice and streaming video to iPhone applications.
"The popularity of the iPhone makes it an ideal platform for developing applications that
incorporate quality real-time VoIP, giving consumers real-world communication experiences
like in-game, multi-person chat," said Emerick Woods, GIPS' CEO. According to Steve Rust,
vice president of business development for GIPS, "A limited number of development
companies are already using the software, but we can't divulge who is developing what, but
we anticipate great gaming, chat and multi-party voice applications to hit the market soon."
Rust indicated that the software was available now.
Customers who now enjoy the voice features of Facebook and MySpace may soon be able to
communicate in the same way when accessing the sites on their iPhones -- once a
motivated software developer creates the app for iPhone customers. Similar applications that
bring voice to instant-messenger software running on the iPhone will also be possible. Also
of interest is the possibility that using stable VoIP software on the iPhone would allow users
to bypass the AT&T voice network entirely -- all that is required would be a VoIP engine and
interface. Users could make calls directly over the Wi-Fi network and avoid the tollgate of a
cellular provider.

Previously, they only have been able to cloak very thin two-dimensional objects.
The findings, by scientists at the University of California, Berkeley, are to be released later
this week in the journals Nature and Science.
WASHINGTON (AP) - Scientists say they are a step closer to developing
materials that could render people and objects invisible.
Researchers have demonstrated for the first time they were able to cloak
three-dimensional objects using artificially engineered materials that
redirect light around the objects.
