LG India and RockeTalk Partnership
LG India just released new mobile phones for the India market. These phones come pre-loaded with the RockeTalk application and have been launched in Maharashtra.
It is nice to have the application as a preload on LG but we would like to add that RockeTalk is available for free download on over 400 handsets- on both Symbian and JAVA platforms. We work on Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Samsung, LG and a few other phones.
Free downloads available at http://www.rocketalk.com/get_it_now.php or from your mobile phone http://m.rocketalk.com
Depending on the phone’s capabilities, not all features are supported on all the models.
“GB210 and KP265 come with the RockeTalk feature. RockeTalk is a Social Networking and Instant Messengers aggregation application. The feature lets users log onto Gtalk, Yahoo Messenger, or send a message in any combination of text, voice, pictures, audio or video to anyone, anywhere in the world. With various free online usage options like downloads, video chat messaging, unlimited group chat, unlimited text messaging etc.”
From the hiptechnology blog:
Moving beyond the 30 feet range- it gets even better… for when they can use voice give them the RockeTalk , a mobile social networking application. OK, it is the watered down version of Rocketalk. RockeTalk is known for voice and video messaging platform. Of special interest to students- it’s voice chat and video chat and also gives instant access to all the IMs- Yahoo, GTalk, MSN, AOL, ICQ. Hey, thats what everyone wants. Its right there at their fingertips. no need to download, just click on the logo! Word of caution- an unlimited data connection is recommended. Hey- but it works just fine on WiFi. So if you do happen to have access to WiFi, then even the data costs are zero!
Hiptechnology Factoid:
Betcha, even LG did not know this one- both RockeTalk and the Bluetooth technology have something common- the common link is Rajiv Kumar. Rajiv, IIT Mumbai, made significant contribution to the Wireless and Bluetooth (Widcomm) technology and, is also the visionary behind RockeTalk !

The much awaited ‘Mirchi’ release :)

Finally here! The much awaited new release, fondly referred to as the ‘Mirchi’ release because of the new ‘What’s Hot’ look- with flames and a bright red chili pepper, is now available to a limited group of users. It is scheduled to go live for everyone this weekend.
Not everything is visible all at once; there are several changes you will notice as you use the application. Notable new features added by popular demand:
1. Extended video recording- Yep! You asked for it, you got it. Now you can send longer videos from your phones to other RockeTalkers’ phones or any email address and post your fun videos to the Gallery. All the better for your citizen journalism needs and to send those family video to all your family and friends!
2. Those ever popular Smileys or emoticons – yes they are finally there to use in an easy way.
3. The much asked for BUZZ for friends … well you asked for it, we did it. We made it even more exciting- giving you the option to record your own Buzz. Don’t be surprised when your friends catch you off gaurd sending you some intersting stuff.. lol.. we wish we could see your faces when someone sent you one of those naughty ones.
Hmmm.. not sure what a Buzz is? A Buzz is a way to wake up your friends who are online but are quiet or… use it just for entertainment.. we leave that to your imagination.
You will see little changes happening in the background almost on a daily basis over the next several weeks.
Keep those suggestions coming and we’ll see how we can all work to make your RockeTalk en more fun and meaningful.
Thanks from the bottom of our heart to all Beta testers and our ever expanding, inner circle of users, our ambassadors. We really appreciate all your help.
If you’d like to be included in our Beta test group for future releases, please contact support@rocketalk.com
