Ericsson, Mozilla and AT&T New at Barcelona’s 2013 Mobile World Congress Webphone Displaying the platform. It has been developed to better integrate phone services with computers. Using the platform, customers will be able to enjoy other services like voice-video calls, text-multimedia messaging and other mobile connections in the internet browser.

The webphone feature uses web RTC (web real time communication) technology that allows you to exchange video and audio without any plugins. Web RTC protocol support has also recently been added to Firefox developer versions. Final construction may also be available soon. Google’s Chrome browser, of course, already supports it.

Telecom giant Ericsson is showcasing the proof-of-concept of a webphone at the Mobile World Congress starting this week.

But how potential can this new service be? Will this change the definition of “mobile”? Isn’t a set of smartphones (or whatever a feature phone) is more “mobile” than your computer? Most of the time you talk on computer or mobile phone? While these questions seemingly challenge the future of the webphone, for those who spend most of their time in front of a monitor, this new service can be quite enjoyable. Because then you can get the benefit of doing any other work from the same screen. Now let’s see how the webphone concept can respond at the consumer level. We look forward to hearing from you soon. Thanks.
