Evaluate http://www.talkray.com/home.html and give me a simple compare spreadsheet.

I would put them in spreadsheet. Yesterday, I had put it in the deck like this:

• Uses phone numbers just like whatsapp
• Available for both android and iOS
• Calls, texts, voice messages, pictures and videos
• Free group calls and international calls
• Group messages, group photos,
• Emojis (emoticons)
• Push to talk
• Share locations with friends
• HD quality of Video call
• one-button send text, voice messages, pictures and videos, even during a live call
• Add more people to on-going call
• Swipe talk screen to left to see who is in call and who is speaking
• Use “share” tab to invite friends to talkray, it would compose text or email
• Adjust the volume of talkray calls, by using side buttons of android/iphone with plus and minus sign on them
• Mute talkray calls by pressing button on above volume buttons
• Way to check if phone is connected with the server
• Will soon get released on blackberry and windows
• They have ads in the application
• It can use google voice number instead of regular phone number

@sojharo

Is this WebRTC ? Your best guess?

There is no browser support?

[jekram]

They are smart to start with Mobile first.

[sojharo]

Yes there is no browser support. I have downloaded the application. I haven't done any video call yet. However, if skype technology is closed source then they might be using WebRTC or have their own technology

@sojharo

Thanks for the spreadsheet. Please review my comments. Just do inline update.

Can you do a high-level time estimate? I have added a column

Small: 1-3 days of effort. Medium up to 5 days. Large: 2 Weeks. Ex Large: more than 2 weeks

[sojharo]

I have added high-level time estimate and also added replies to the comments in bold
