    • Prefuse 73
    • It's an album about a breakup, done with beats instead of mopey lyrics. But the beats are raw, and the emotions are there, even if there aren't many words on top of it. While possibly not Scott Herren

    • Spoon
    • Gimme Fiction by Spoon is a terrific album by an Austin band that I was lucky enough to catch on an Austin radio station during a Christmas visit.

    • The Dresden Dolls
    • The energetic duet of Amanda Palmer and Brian Viglione that make up the Dresden Dolls have created a wonderfully haunting sound in their self-titled album. They have been able to construct an imme

  • Buffy the Vampire Slayer - Once More, with Feeling

    • 10 out of 10
    • Various Artists
    • Most musical episodes of TV shows frankly stink. They are usually little more than ill-conceived vehicles intended to let the stars show off what musical talent they have. Once More, With Feeling,

  • Haunted

    • 10 out of 10
    • Poe
    • Dropping like a bomb on some of the blah musical offerings of her contemporaries, Haunted was one of the best albums of 2000, obliterating the competition.

      Ostensibly a tie-in to her brot

Jajah Customized Service Comes to iPhone [UPDATED]

Jajah, an international VOIP service, launched its custom iPhone interface for the iPhone on Thursday. Apple iPhone users can access the service via Wi-Fi or EDGE with Safari, enter an international number and pay low VOIP rates for an international call.

No contract is required, and international rates are a fraction of what is normally charged from a land line or mobile service.

The user connects to iphone.jajah.com and enters the desired international number. Then there is a call back to the iPhone over the EDGE network and the two numbers are connected via VOIP for the international connection. For example, calls to any land line from an iPhone the U.S. to Germany are 3.3 cents/min. and 20.6 cents/min to a cell phone in Germany.

Because the call is set up between two standard phones, this is not like Skype. It could be useful for business people who want a low cost, easy access mechanism for international calls from anywhere in the U.S.

Calls between Jajah members are free.


Users must sign up with an e-mail address, an iPhone phone number, and registration is free. International call charges are billed through a Jajah account and can be paid, for example, with a credit card. The duration of the local portion of the call is part of the user’s monthly minutes on the AT&T iPhone plan. There are lengthly terms of service worth reading.

The original service can be launched from any personal computer by creating an account and logging on at jajah.com. The call, however, is always between two standard phones.

A free trial for five minutes duration is available.

[UPDATE: This article was updated with additional information for clarity.]
