although the most analysts clearly understand there is nothing new in the "idea of Microsoft",
- to integrate the functions of mobile phones and email into a single system that enables people to contact to one another based on name rather than email or phone number.
and fiercevoip.com states it clearly today-
- There are other solutions that already have this sort of functionality going, so Microsoft isn't bringing anything new to the party other than tying in Microsoft products.
however we know Microsoft is a Mad Power (read Evil) in brain-programming, even if it's not able delivering free of bugs software, so try to imagine THE HELL that's coming if this will be realized by M$-
Echoes is supposedly a services platform for telecom carriers that combines Microsoft Live Messenger along with syncing of people's address books and presence. The first phase roll out this summer would be a platform to sync contacts from Messenger with a user's mobile phone address book. Users would basically get an overlay/map of Messenger users to phone numbers and be able to SMS text or voice call to synched contacts without having to type a number or email address.
Oh my God! I'll immediatelly change my Telco if it's selecting M$ as magic platform supplier ;)
