Happy New Years Eve everyone.
So you got an iPad for Christmas and you're wondering what the heck you can do with it besides surf the web and play Angry Birds. Well it just so happens that a handy little app will transform your new tech toy into a useable, giant iPhone.
The app is called Talkatone. It does everything that you would want in a phone; make calls and send and receive SMS text messages, without a contract or the need for minutes. The screenshots look eerily similar to the iPhone OS:
The way it works is that it syncs with your GMail account so you do need a GMail account to register, which of course is free. In order to call or text phones that don't have Talkatone, you will need a Google Voice account as well,which is also free.
The app currently works with iOS 1 and 2, but is not yet available for iOS 3 at this time so keep that in mind. Also, keep in mind that the app will only work with a Wi-Fi connection, which is the only drawback if you have a slow connection or no Wi-Fi available.
There is an Android app currently in development so don't fret Android Tablet users, you will have the same capabilities soon enough.
