Recursion Software released a new version of its Voyager software, hoping the new launch's platform-blurring setup and lack of a centralized server will let it leap from mobile phones to TVs and cars. Voyager blurs the lines between Android, .NET and Java by allowing users to access a free-flowing, peer-to-peer architecture. Recursion hopes to tap into market trends toward further mobile content applications, with sights set on integrating with the iPhone and BREW and the development of peer-to-group messaging and vehicle, phone and ultra-mobile PC emergency response applications.

Its not just for the iPhone anymore, Verizon Wireless today announced the availability of Visual Voicemail for the Voyager by LG. For those who haven’t seen it, Visual Voice Mail provides a different way to access voicemail; a list of messages is displayed on the screen and users can choose the order in which they [...]

Filed under: Software , Verizon Wireless Seems like things are coming along nicely for the launch of Verizon's downloadable visual voicemail service , with some preliminary information briefly hitting VZW's interwebs before seemingly being pulled. As we'd previously heard, a retooled LG Voyager -- creatively named Voyager Refresh -- will be one of the first devices to get access to the service, while current Voyager owners will be able to download the app required to get hooked up. Unlike what we'd previously heard, though, it seems that Verizon has opted to offer the service at no additional monthly service charge (a wise move, may we add). Since the entire lowdown has been taken offline, there's no telling exactly when we're actually supposed to know that VVM exists or when we might be able to sign up for it, but all indications suggest it'll be sooner rather than later.

Verizon not long ago launched their LG VX10000 Voyager as an answer to AT&T's Apple iPhone. The touchscreen revolution had just gotten underway and Verizon had to scramble to get its own touchscreen offering on the table. But, with a squishy pressure-sensitive touchscreen and clunky UI, the LG Voyager failed to cash in on the [...]

Filed under: Handsets , LG , ATT , Sprint , Verizon Wireless Korea's Electronic Times is quoting a mysterious LG "official" as saying that the company's Voyager -- the high-end touchscreen flipper currently on Verizon -- will be making the leap to both AT&T and Sprint before the year's out. Although that isn't necessarily an outlandish thing to believe (Verizon's exclusivity period probably lasts 12 months at most, after all), it implies that at least two additional versions of the Voyager would have to be in the works: a CDMA piece without MediaFLO for Sprint and, of course, a GSM variant for AT&T. The news comes on the heels of LG's triumphant claim that they've shipped a whopping 1.1 million Voyagers since launch -- a pretty impressive number considering that the phone just launched at the very tail end of 2007 -- and a number that could pretty easily triple if these other carrier deals turn out to be legit.
