Here’s a product from Verizon that puts the telephone exchange right in your hands. You get a Web, desktop client, or voice interface to the system. Pretty cool.
It reminds me of unified messaging services of yester-year. But, the promising thing here is that it’s from a bona-fide telco. The features and demo looks interesting and it seems that Verizon gets the integration of PC, Web, and phone. I wonder if their cellular service is also integrated into this. That’d be so cool.

iobi Home brings it all together giving you complete control over your communications and helps you manage all of your day-to-day activities with one simple tool.
Actually, Verizon and Verizon Wireless are separate companies, so it might be a long shot that their mobile service would integrate with this device.
Sort of funny to see anyone praise Verizon, because as a customer I can tell you that they are not real fun to do business with.
