NEW iPHONE APPLICATION ALLOWS USERS TO PLACE AND RECEIVE CALLS
Tech Experts Predict iCall Could Give Apple The Competitive Edge
St. Louis, MO – Got an iPhone? You could soon be talking to fellow iPhone owners using the
device! An application currently under development is designed to give iPhone users the ability
to call each other from nearly anywhere in the country. The “iCall” application comes courtesy
of Nate Bixley, a St. Louis-based software developer who came up with the idea while
browsing Apple’s App Store on his device. “I thought, ‘How cool would it be if I could use this
thing to talk to someone I know?’” says Bixley, “It seemed impossible, but I’m a dreamer.”
Drawing upon his knowledge of telecommunications, Bixley assembled a team to research
and develop the application. Six months later, the group produced iCall, an application that
uses cellular technology to allow iPhone users to communicate with one another after entering
a numeric code into their device. “We’re still beta testing it,” says research analyst Marsha
Kline, “but the feedback we’ve gotten is mostly positive.”
Though Bixley reamins optimistic about the development, some experts doubt it’ll make
enough noise in the already crowded app store. “The market’s already saturated with
incredibly innovative applications like iFart and Super Monkey Ball.” says social networking
consultant Richard Face, “I can’t imagine why someone who can use their iPhone as a
whoopie cushion or even an arcade, would want to use it to talk to somebody in another part of
the country. Moreover, the technology for something like that simply doesn’t exist.” That said,
Face could find himself eating his words when iCall comes out next month. Bixley says he’s
already received hundreds of emails from people asking when the app will be available for
purchase. “Just the other day a guy in Michigan wrote and said he was going to use my app to
talk to his grandma in Nebraska.” says Bixley, “Who’d have thought we live in a world where
that could one day be possible?” Link this story here.
