"Seamless messaging is no longer a dream: it is increasingly a real need for users. By integrating these newly acquired patented technologies with Calypso ASNAP ASNAP Automatic Switching of Network Access Points (CalypsoWireless Inc.) [TM] patented technology, any cellular or dual mode WiFi cellular phone will be able to convert any incoming text message into a voice message and, similarly, any incoming voice message into a text message," says Mr. Alessandro Valenti, Calypso VP of Research and Development.

"Subscribers that do not have a Smartphone or PDA phone can also use the speech to text technology. This could be an ideal solution for the emerging market," continues Valenti.

"We believe this is a major milestone for our company. We have been focusing on perfecting our own technology as well as developing new ones. The newly acquired technologies along with the existing patented technologies will allow us to expand our licensing model and start to aggressively pursue licensing agreements with established industry leaders and thereby create additional revenues," says Cristian Turrini, Calypso's President & Chief Executive Officer.
