"Acision, the messaging company of choice for over 300 network operators and service providers worldwide, today announces the launch of Visual Voicemail, a fully integrated, easy-to-use graphical multimedia interface that dramatically improves the mobile voicemail experience....Visual Voicemail combines Acision’s established IP Voicemail/ IP Videomail with Action Engine’s intuitive and interactive on-device portal. Visual Voicemail enables operators to offer simplified and enhanced viewing, playback and management of voicemail, as well as ensuring a seamless evolution to other advanced messaging services through Acision’s convergence platform. Visual Voicemail will be available on a variety of Java, BREW, and Windows Mobile handsets."
Not sure why it took so many years before Apple discovered that "ooh! Downloading digitized voicemail to the phone, push-email-style, is a great way of checking it!", but I for one am glad that other vendors are finally waking up to this simple reality and offering a much better way of checking voicemail. Let's hope that, long-term, Microsoft can work with carriers and ultimately integrate this into Windows Mobile.
