CallWave, Inc. (NASDAQ:CALL) today announced the industry’s first Visual Voicemail gadget (also known as a widget) for Google Personalized Homepage – a free, desktop-based application enabling users to see and hear mobile phone voicemail messages right on their computer. The Visual Voicemail gadget is part of the CallWave suite of Web 2.0 desktop widgets and gadgets for the mobile phone.

“The Google Visual Voicemail gadget optimizes the time mobile users spend at their computer,” said David Hofstatter, Chief Executive Officer for CallWave. “We’re continuing our mission to establish the computer as a natural companion for the phone and enabling Google fans to manage mobile phone voicemail in ways never before thought possible."

About the CallWave Visual Voicemail Gadget

The CallWave Visual Voicemail gadget is the simplest way to experience CallWave’s Visual Voicemail solution. The service provides a visual notification when new messages arrive, whether a user’s handset is nearby or not. Users can then view a list of mobile voicemail messages and sort, prioritize and listen to these messages in any order desired right from the computer – without switching service providers, purchasing a new handset or changing their mobile phone number. When not at the computer, users are notified of mobile voicemail messages via a detailed text message sent to the handset. Users can still check voicemail from their mobile phone.

The Visual Voicemail service is currently available on most U.S. carriers including Cingular™, Verizon™ and T-Mobile™, and over 30 others nationwide.
