This Kinda works like MAGIC JACK but for your iDevice.
When you register, you will be assigned your permanent "US NUMBER" and will be able to call US Landlines and Mobile Numbers for FREE!
Another great function is it supports teleconferencing, so you can call another number at the same time and talk together, if I am not mistaken it works up to 3 numbers but I haven't tested this yet.
You do get a short VOICE commercial before the call connect's which I think is a small price to pay for the convenience you get.
It work's only on a WIFI connection but if you are Jailbroken, you can make call's with 3G.
Hamburg, February 3, 2011 – ROCCAT™, the young Hamburg-based manufacturer of gaming peripherals, is expanding its portfolio of gaming mousepads with an extremely high-quality hardpad featuring an anodized aluminum core: the ROCCAT™ Alumic. With two very different surface structures, the ROCCAT™ Alumic – Double-Sided Gaming Mousepad meets the highest demands of both low and high-sense gamers. Each side also features a different ROCCAT™ design. Made from high-quality aluminum, the ROCCAT™ Alumic offers maximum stability and durability. Extra-large mousepad feet ensure the mousepad stays rooted to the spot while offering the ultimate in mouse control when gaming. It also includes a gel-filled wrist rest for maximum comfort.
Features:
OPTIMIZED FOR SPEED + CONTROL The right mousepad is the starting point for outstanding tracking and precise aiming. The ROCCAT™ Alumic’s two surfaces have different structures, allowing both fast as well as very controlled mouse movements. Low-sense gamers need a super smooth surface for ultimate gliding performance and fast, sweeping mouse movements. In contrast, the granular surface is designed to meet the needs of high-sense gamers. The structured surface offers optimal tracking, particularly when using high mouse resolutions, thereby ensuring the ultimate gaming experience.
ANODIZED ALUMINUM CORE The anodized aluminum core gives the ROCCAT™ Alumic incredible stability and protection against warping – yet the mousepad’s just 3mm thin, which in combination with its compact dimensions of 331x272mm, makes it ideal for using either on the sofa or while on the move. Plus, in addition to the aluminum core, the ultra hardwearing coatings deliver maximum durability.
NON-SLIP, EXTRA-LARGE MOUSEPAD FEET The ROCCAT™ Alumic’s extra-large, custom-fit rubber feet ensure this mousepad will stay rooted to any desktop. Specially designed feet completely envelope each corner of the mousepad, guaranteeing maximum grip.
GEL WRIST REST FOR EXTRA COMFORT The wrist rest offers comfort and fatigue-free gaming enjoyment – plus it matches the shape of the mousepad perfectly. What’s more, the flexible gel inner and elastic outer are effective at promoting ergonomic gaming.
After going to the site to update mine on my windows machine, thte Windows link seems to be broken. Hope they fix it soon!
UPDATE 2:
Also having download issues on MAC :-(
UPDATE 3:
Somewhat disappointing, Even the MAC zip file is corrupted. Tried downloading it on PC and MAC, file won't unzip. I hope this is just a fluke and not a publicity stunt.
UPDATE 4:
I uploaded an alternative download link above since the site seems to be having issues.
UPDATE 5:
SUCCESS! Try and Try even if your iPhone dies :-)
Recommendations:
- If you fail with GP, make sure to Restart/reboot the phone (Even if you are waking up from a restart from a failed Green Poison JB)
- When downloading CYDIA, Put phone on Airplane mode then turn on WIFI, Turn of Notifications and GPS so the download won't get interrupted because somehow the DL is too sensitive. I reached 90%+ already then I got a foursquare update which caused the loader to exit. YES, Had to go through it again but this time better prepared and turned off everything that could cause an interruption.
