Toronto based business mobility company Talkster Inc. It unveils network that consolidates the communications services people use everyday on a device they already have and take everywhere they go – the Mobile Phone

As an important component of the company’s forthcoming enterprise communications service, the Talkster network connects mobile phones to VoIP networks and devices without phone numbers, such as IP-PBX office phones provisioned inside a corporate IP network.

It is first service to let people place free calls from their cell phones to instant messaging services like MSN, Google Talk and Gizmo Project, consolidates the many voice-based communications services people use every day into an easy-to-use service that works from a single familiar device: the mobile phone. The Talkster beta service showcases Talkster’s Web services-based technology, the foundation for Talkster’s enterprise service offering, coming in 2007.

There are only two steps to make a call to your buddies or any telephone number using Talkster:

1. Choose the person with whom you want to speak. This can be a buddy from your buddy list or a telephone number for one of your contacts.
Once you have chosen where to call, Talkster sends a signal off to the Talkster VoIP network to initiate the call.

2. Depending on your settings, Talkster either triggers your phone to call in to one of our local access gateways, or calls you back on your phone.
Once your call is connected over the standard cellular voice network to our gateway, your contact’s phone or instant messenger client will ring on the other end and you are talking – just like you would in a regular phone call.

Lots of buzz around for VoIP on 3G network , here is the exclusive review from msmobiles.com

Skype for Pocket PC in latest version brings even more features of the Skype for PC, although still Skype video calling is not available (although it would be possible due to availability of camera API in Windows Mobile 5.0).

Furthermore to make voice calls with Skype one doesn’t have to have access to Wi-Fi and making voice calls is possible and feasible also over cellular networks! It is pity, that Skype for MS Smartphone is not yet officially available - clearly the reason was lack of MS Smartphone devices with powerful enough processor - but since both Motorola Q and Samsung SGH-i320 already have powerful enough processors it could change if only Skype would be willing to put some effort into it.

Anyway the version of Skype for Pocket PC is a very mature one, particularly in the latest version that we have tested here, and since still there is no Skype for Symbian, it is also a very good reason to buy Windows Mobile phone… if you don’t have one yet!

Also, Tom Keating from TMCnet has a review on latest Skype for Pocket PC 2.1 Beta.
