Pune, India, Oct 23rd 2001: ADI
Software Technologies Pvt. Ltd., today announced
the release and availability of its new
product Voice Messenger Force, a sophisticated
instant messaging software with voice chat
capabilities, for Pocket PC devices running
on Windows CE 3.0 as well as the new Pocket
PC 2002.
Voice Messenger Force brings the power
of peer-to-peer voice messaging to Windows
CE-based Pocket PCs. Riding on the immensely
popular MSN Messenger Service; Voice Messenger
Force allows users to initiate a voice conversation
with their MSN Messenger buddies on Pocket
PCs as well as on the desktop. The product
comes with a free desktop companion software
that allows MSN Messenger Service users
on the desktop to send and receive voice
messages from their Pocket PC buddies.
Voice conversations can be launched by
directly selecting a user from the contact
list or from within an existing instant
messaging session. All presence management
and privacy rules apply to the initiation
of voice conversations, hence users can
have complete control over who can send
them voice messages and when.

allowing for simultaneous two-way conversation.
