Walkie Talkie using WiFi is now possible

Walkie-talkie over Wi-Fi! It is simply a brilliant idea: not all people know that devices built-in Wi-Fi can communicate also with each other, without Wi-Fi access point, and then with use of this software one can make peer-to-peer voice calls over Wi-Fi!

4Talk is the easy way to turn your Pocket PC into a two way communication device suitable for short range transmissions. Pair two or more Pocket PC’s to create a mini walkie talkie network, or use it in conjunction with your PC to create a continuous surveillance or baby monitoring device.

4Talk can be used on any local area network using direct cable, Wi-Fi or even Bluetooth, although the later is obviously very short range. As long as your network is configured and your device has an IP address you can use 4Talk.

Now this is more like it

I don't know if this software is any good, but I like the innovation of the idea. It's the sort of thing the PPC needs more of...expanding the bounds of the possible.

You don't. Actually, if you don't let the router pass multicast packets to other segments, it won't work.

Without any kind of multicast-eanbled routers connecting segments (and, tehrefore, say, all the Wi-Fi AP's in a building - thisis how you can cover an entire building, which is one of the best usage areas for this app), then, the range of a Wi-Fi P2P network - say, some dozens of metres at most.

Wow this is wirth my checking into.
I have been waiting for TeamSpeak to come out with Wnidows Mobile.
I run a Web controlled Radio, and use WM encoder - and would much rather use teamspeak (or similar) to send audio.

Anyone buy this? I picked it up for the baby monitor (worked well on the trial) but didn't get a "password" to activate it, just the reg code (both needed). No response from the manufacturer. Anyone have any idea about this? Thanks!
