(News Release) SoonR, the company that provides mobile access to PC based information and applications from any cell phone over any carrier network, today announced its new product, SoonR Talk. SoonR Talk enables Skype users to make calls all over the world from their mobile phone when they are away from their PC. There are hundreds of millions of cell phones in the world with the capabilities to use SoonR Talk. SoonR Talk is a free service and is available today at http://www.soonr.com.

SoonR Talk makes it easy for everyone who has a mobile phone handset with a browser and data service to enjoy the cost savings and community “presence” benefits of Skype. The new capability is being announced at the AlwaysOn OnHollywood event at the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood, where SoonR is being honored as one of the OnHollywood Top100 technology companies.

“SoonR Talk is just the latest significant milestone in our ongoing commitment to make it simple to deliver the relevant content of a person’s PC optimized for their mobile phone, without having to install software on the phone,” said Martin Frid-Nielsen, CEO of SoonR.

SoonR Talk works with a person’s PC like a switchboard to set up their calls. Users simply click on the buddy they wish to talk with and SoonR Talk tells their PC to call their mobile phone using SkypeOut, then instructs Skype to call the buddy and places the user into a conference. SoonR Talk can even create calls with multiple users from the mobile phone. Just like on the PC, SoonR Talk shows which buddies are online and if they are not there, a user can IM them so they can see the message the next time they are using Skype. SoonR Talk fully supports Skype chat.

SoonR Talk is the latest offering in SoonR’s line of services that delivers the power of a person’s PC to their mobile phone. Other SoonR service features include SoonR Desktop, that lets people search and access the files on their PC desktop, and SoonR Organizer, that lets people check their Outlook email, calendar and contacts — on any mobile phone with a browser, without the need for synchronization or installing software on the phone.

“SoonR is addressing a very important aspect of mobility,” said Tim Bajarin, President, Creative Strategies, based in Campbell, California. “Our own extensive ‘Digital Family’ research shows that consumers want to be able to get at all their different forms of stored digital content in one convenient place — what some people are calling ‘life caching.’ SoonR’s technology seems to offer the potential for one common platform across all mediums, including the various carrier and portal protocols. That can be a very powerful concept.”

SoonR Talk, SoonR Desktop and SoonR Organizer all are available for free download at http://www.soonr.com.
