PicoWave

Everybody are excited about Google Wave, so am I.

Today I've released a Google Gadget that VoIP enables the waves so that all the wave participants can speak (voice, words, vocal) between each other.

The Gadget is based on MailVision product that is called WebLynx. Its partially server and partially client based product. On the client side its a flash SWF file (built with Adobe Flex) that communicates with our server using proprietary API and Flash audio codecs (NellyMoser and Speex). From there its SIP/RTP to the nearest SoftSwitch and on the world.

The PicoWave gadget variation enables calls between wave participants and no outside world calls although we are planning to extend its functionality and add incoming calls to Waves and outgoing calls to PSTN from within the wave, all depends on the interest to the gadget.

Its a first gadget of this kind in the market and we are very excited to release it and to see the feedbacks it will produce.

You can follow the gadget news on Twitter as well. The Twitter name as you might have already guessed is "picowave".

On a later posts I will write down my experience developing this gadget.

Now, to use the gadget you should do the following:

1. Add the gadget to the wave by URL:
http://picowave.mailvision.com/picowave.html

2. Add Google Wave extension using the following manifest:
http://picowave.mailvision.com/manifest.xml

Some quick HOWTO:

1. Take a seat
2. See all online participants
3. Click participant to call him.

If you are alone in the wave and still want to try the gadget you can call our echo service that is always in a seat waiting there just for you :-)
