UbiVia, the next generation of cellular text communication on BlackBerry smartphones. This new feature will enhance text communication to the next level in text communication in real time just like how a real phone behaves. No more waiting for a texted response. All real time, all the time. UbiVia is a patented technology owned by sComm - a wholly deaf owned and run company and maker of the UbiDuo communication device.

Kokonut Pundit: UbiVia - Your next live mobile text for deaf, hard of hearing, and hearing users
 
Press Release from yesterday.

Raytown, MO (PRWEB) July 7, 2010 -- sComm, developer and manufacturer of UbiDuo, the face-to-face communicator, announced the UbiVia, the next generation of cellular text communication on smartphones. Beta testing of the new product was launched at the National Association of the Deaf conference, taking place this week in Philadelphia, PA and will be offered exclusively to BlackBerry® smartphone users to start.

The UbiVia, which is downloaded on smartphones, allows users at both ends of the conversation to read what each other types in live real-time, on a split-screen display. This results in faster and simultaneous conversations, eliminating the need to take turns talking or wait for a response from the other person. This new form of communication is faster than instant messaging (IM) or SMS.

The UbiVia establishes new standards of texting and experience never available or offered before on cell phones,” says Jason Curry, CEO of sComm. “When you call someone, it will ring like a cell phone, and you will have the option of accepting or rejecting the incoming text call. You also have audible, visual and vibration alert options.”

The UbiVia will run on BlackBerry smartphones available through all four major carriers in the United States - AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon. sComm is now recruiting current BlackBerry smartphone users to participate in UbiVia beta testing trials; the last stage before going on the market. Product information and UbiVia beta tester sign up is available at the UbiVia website at UbiVia | www.scomm.com.

sComm Announces Beta Testing of New and Revolutionary Cellular Text Communication Technology
 
I'm actually thinking about getting this. I am curious, do you work for them?
 
I got rid of Blackberry six months ago. I wonder if this will be available for other smart phones?
 
Which current Blackberry? My Curve's over two years old. Is the iPhone next for this Ubi Via?
 
it reminds me of ICQ, where I could actually see typing to me.

No, I don't work for sComm. I am a very good friend of the president/CEO of sComm and I believe in his work and the goal to improve the accessibility of communication between deaf, hh, and hearing people. And provide greater communication independence for those who are deaf or hh. I've known him for some time now. I'm all too happy to help him and let people know about his products.
 
not interested. AIM has this feature. never liked real-time "IM-ing". it's very annoying and interruptive. I don't like to see a person keeps deleting to correct the misspelling or sentence. It's like being observed or observing someone at psychology lab. I believe that it's best to invest in reliable speediness because there's a time delay when exchanging txts.

just my 2-cents constructive criticism.

I agree with you. I dislike it. I hate tiny physical keyboard Blackberry device.
 
When I was using ICQ, my aunt thought I could see everything she is doing on her computer. She often wonder how I could reponse to her questions before she finished typing. it is because ICQ let me see her typing (even her mistakes)
