Every time a partner like TruPhone announces something related to Apple’s hit products, it has to cover the bond between two gadgets. Normally, we would see a software made for the iPhone and the iPod and if only one should be covered, expect the remaining one to get its own software of the same nature.

Such is the case for the Truphone 3.0 for the Apple iPod Touch. Initially, Truphone had launched one for the Apple iPhone and while only some noticed, the iPod Touch now has its own major new upgrade to its mobile VoIP application. The new version dramatically builds upon the success of previous versions of the VoIP application for the iPod, enhancing users’ instant messaging and account management experience, faster than ever before, and delivering a new standard for call quality.

“Following the successful launch of Truphone 3.0 for the iPhone we were keen to follow-up as quickly as possible for all our iPod touch customers. That’s what we’ve done to ensure that they can take advantage of all our new improvements: improved UI, account management and call quality. We believe Truphone 3.0 sets a new benchmark in terms of quality and performance”, said Geraldine Wilson, CEO Truphone.

Why type when you can talk? That is apparently the new technology that IM+ now carries which can surely make mobile communications a whole lot easier. SHAPE has joined forces with Yap Inc., pioneer of the first fully automated voice-to-text platform, to add the first of its kind, thumbs-free message dictation feature to IM+ for BlackBerry smartphones.

IM+ with speech recognition will allow users to dictate their instant messages and send them as text to their contacts in Facebook, AIM/iChat, MSN/Windows Live Messenger, Yahoo!, ICQ, Jabber, Google Talk and MySpaceIM. Recent studies indicate that over 70% of consumers prefer using voice to interact with their mobile devices rather than typing.

If you had the chance to be asked, what specific feature of a mobile device would you want? Apparently there would be two things a mobile user would want:

1. TouchScreen Features
2. Phones below $50

The two points are not really surprising. Considering people want the best they can get on any deal is only common. And to back up this claim, a study conducted by ABI Research ound nearly half of the respondents in the 40-59 age bracket expected a touchscreen on a $50 mobile device.

That survey, conducted in February, 2009, aimed to discover what features people have on their phones, which are actually being used, and what features people of different ages expect to find on cellular handsets at various price-points.

The top features, present on over half of all respondents’ phones, were a camera, Internet access, the ability to play music, to record video, to send and receive email, and to do instant messaging. A significantly higher proportion of those aged 18-29 had these features, and some of a dozen others, in their phones. According to research practice director Kevin Burden, “We found the classic 80/20 usage pattern: about 80% of those surveyed used only 20% of the available functions.”
