Google Voice update for Android brings design refresh and asynchronous SMS

A new version of Google Voice has just crawled out of the woodwork, and while the changes are minor, we think most users will like what’s in store. First and foremost, we were greeted with a new, darker interface that better matches Honeycomb’s design philosophy, along with a refreshed icon that more closely resembles the messaging app in Ice Cream Sandwich . There’s also a curious new feature known as asynchronous SMS, which allows you to queue up messages for later delivery when you happen to be without signal

Elevate aims high, agrees to become Sprint’s newest MVNO

Another MVNO is going live on Sprint’s network, and this time Elevate is the one signing the dotted line. The company, known primarily for providing digital services such as VoIP, wireline and wireless broadband in 22 markets across the country, is now aiming to expand its portfolio by using the Now Network to provide both postpaid and prepaid mobile plans for its customers. While we’re still waiting to hear the specifics, Elevate mentioned that it will feature Android and “Windows-based devices.” The MVNO will also be leveraged to support the company’s Smart Home automation service, taking advantage of a new app that will give customers remote access to all aspects of their home security systems.

Peek killing off US email and Twitter devices after ‘lifelong service’

There’s an old saying that eternal love lasts for two years. Apparently, that also applies to Peek’s bare bones email and Twitter devices, which launched in 2008 and 2009 respectively. We’ve received emails from users anxious that their handsets — all running on T-Mo’s network — stopped working on January 30th, despite them having paid up to $299 for ” lifelong service .” Although at least some users received emails about this, we’ve just had confirmation from Peek’s CEO, Amol Sarva, that the products really are being abandoned.

T-Mobile to tighten the purse strings, limit data roaming starting April 5th

We’ve just come across an internal T-Mobile memo that will certainly give a few customers a moment of pause: come April 5th, it seems the carrier will impose new, restrictive limits that affect data usage when roaming. Hot on the heels of the network’s roaming pact with AT&T , the change would restrict subscribers to a fixed allotment of roaming data that’s proportionate to their current data plan. While most customers are unlikely to notice the change, it’s almost certain that some will be left out in the cold

Nintendo officially announces Nintendo Network, promises personal accounts for Wii U

Nintendo’s third quarter financial briefing just spilled the beans on the recently spied Nintendo Network , causing Nintendo fans everywhere to collectively sigh, “It’s about time.” Company head honcho Satoru Iwata says the network will offer “competitions and communication among users, as well as the sales of digital content,” and in the case of the Wii U, will introduce personal user accounts. Iwata stopped just short of confirming that the Nintendo Network will end the company’s policy of tying downloaded titles to Nintendo hardware, rather than individual users, but mentioned that it packed an infrastructure that supports not only add-on content, but fully downloadable retail games as well.
