Smartphone users will soon be able to participate in Web conferences using the hosted WebEx tool right from their phones. The new functionality allows smartphone users to participate in Web and audio conference calls right from their smartphones.
The great thing is that people won’t ever have to miss out on a meeting if they’re late to a meeting for some reason or stuck in the airport. They don’t have to fire up their laptop. They can participate right from their phone.
Cisco is making a version of its WebEx client software available to several smartphones. Like BlackBerry Bold, BlackBerry Curve and BlackBerry Storm, as well as the Nokia eSeries – E71, Nokia E75, Nokia N97, and other Nokia E series and N series devices, plus the Samsung Blackjack II.
“Cell phone users will no longer be second class citizens,” said Doug Dennerline, senior vice president and general manager of Cisco’s collaboration software group. “The great thing is that people won’t ever have to miss out on a meeting if they’re late to a meeting for some reason or stuck in the airport. They don’t have to fire up their laptop. They can participate right from their phone.”

LG, Motorola, Nokia, Samsung and Sony Ericsson made the announcement at MWC 09. And we are certainly excited

MWC 09 has some really exciting things for us. And one of the future technologies in use would be Solar Powered Samsung Blue-Earth. Blue Earth reduces the dependence on the conventional power adapter by utilizing the solar panel on the back effectively. This touchscreen is eco-friendly and has a 5 star energy efficient charger which uses standby power lower than 0.03W.
Blue Earth is made from recycled plastic called PCM, which is extracted from water bottles, helping to reduce fuel consumption and carbon emissions in the manufacturing process.
