Iotum Introduced New Technology Preview for BlackBerry It combines mobile presence with relevance for the first time	By Cosmin Vasile, Communications News Editor 26th of January 2007, 14:39 GMT Adjust text size:


iotum has introduced Talk-Now, a revolutionary New Presence application for the BlackBerry that combines the capabilities of a to-do list and a buddy list. Talk-Now lets users share their availability with others, notifies users when people they need to speak with are available, and shows users the availability of their contacts to speak with them. Talk-Now promises to eliminate telephone tag, by allowing users to know when the people they need to speak with are available to take their calls. Talk-Now is the first New Presence application to hit the market. Unlike traditional presence applications, which show the same availability to every subscriber, Talk-Now uses the intelligence of the award-winning Relevance Engine to show the subscribers actual willingness to speak with specific individuals, based on their relationship to the subscriber, and what the subscriber is currently doing. "How many calls do we make that start with, 'is this a good time?'" said Alec Saunders, iotum CEO. "How many of us reach voice mail instead of the person we want to speak with? With Talk-Now you'll know, before you make the call, whether the party you're calling can talk. It's simply a better and more effective way to reach people." The Talk-Now application runs on the newest Blackberry's the 8700 series, the Pearl, and prior Blackberry's running OS 4.1 or higher. BlackBerry users can get a free preview account by signing up here. Installation is via over-the-air download.
