Raketu today released its Raketu Mobile for Google's G1 Android mobile adding VoIP support to the Android phone. Raketu already supports iPhone, Nokia, WinMobile and BlackBerry mobile phones
The new service allows anyone with a G1 using roaming data services or WiFi to connect to the Raketu mobile services to make phone-to-phone calls, send sms-text messages and email, send and receive instant messages, store and share pictures, and more, all without a download. Current Raketu users can start using the new services immediately, and new users can sign up at http://G1.Raketu.com or http://Android.Raketu.com.

C'mon, you of all people should know the difference between an application and a web service.
It's a web page
not an application.
So what's the big deal here? that it was optimized for the G1?!?!?
oh, that's great.
Every phone has a web browser... it's just a PR... nothing more.
My bad. I know Raketu offers a Windows Mobile application download (as well as a web-based app). So I just assumed from their news release wording that it too was a download app like their Windows Mobile app.
Thanks for keeping me on my toes!
I re-read this release and visited the site. It does not mention an application and lists the services available on the G1 - not sure what the comment about application is all about? And those who know about building websites/services understand that just about every mobile has a different browser, capabilities, etc.
Web initiated VoIP phone-to-phone calling works for me and I save a bundle.
And yes, I do know the difference between an application and a web service!
