Ezmax MP3
Player Calls on VoIP
PC World -
USA
HANOVER, GERMANY -- Ezmax of South Korea will put on sale this May an MP3 player
that allows users to make and receive telephone calls using VoIP (voice over
Internet Protocol), the company said at the CeBIT trade show here.
The EZMP4200P contains software so that when the device is linked to an
Internet-connected PC via a USB 2.0 port, people can make local and
international calls using a microphone that is included in the device's earphone
cord, says Ezmax's director, Lee Sung Soo.
When the device is connected to a desktop or notebook PC, it appears on screen
as a removable disk icon. When the icon is double clicked, dialing software
appears, enabling the user to make calls, he says.
Users need to sign up with a VoIP provider. The company is talking to providers
in South Korea, Germany, and other European countries to sign agreements that
will enable the company to adjust the software in the device to the software
used by the providers, Lee says.
Put to the Test
In a demonstration at the company's stand at CeBIT, the device was plugged into
a notebook PC and the VoIP dialing software appeared. After a few clicks, an
international call was successfully made via a South Korean VoIP provider to the
mobile phone of a fellow Ezmax employee standing a few meters away.
