10 Best :: Ways to Eat Avocados
20 Responses to "10 Best :: Ways to Eat Avocados"
Jeanine Donofrio I think I love them more than anyone in the world too That avocado & shrimp ceviche looks stunning!
Katie Meyers / Meyers Styles Avocados are hands-down one of my favorite foods, Chanel, so I am in love with this post. And, I think that shrimp and avocado ceviche is calling my name. Delish!
Sarah [Sarah The Architect] I agree, avocados are the best!! I'll eat them with anything, even desserts thanks to Jeanine!
Amanda @ Once Upon a Recipe I love this post – avocados are one of my favorite things and I've been buying them by the bagful! My favorite way to eat them is smashed on toast with sea salt and pepper. Yum!
Lauren Craig (@PerpetuallyChic) As a fellow Texan and avocado lover, I really enjoyed this little roundup! My favorite way to eat them is grilled and then topped with fresh goodies (like this: http://bit.ly/PI12w2) — so, so good.
Angelica Golden That avocado sorbet looks amazing! My favorite is simply avocado smashed on toast with a drizzle of olive oil, salt and fresh cracked pepper, and red pepper flakes–the best!
Manuela A friend once made an avocado, mango and quinoa (with a drizzle of lemon) salad – so good I now make it regularly.
My favourite way to eat them however is mixed with hearts of palm, sweetcorn and green chicory leaves (with a dijon mustard, oil and cider vinegar dressing)… unusual but amazing! -
Tiffany D'Souza This is perfect! I love avocados! I have been looking everywhere for different ways to include them into my daily diet, rather than the mundane way of eating them straight as it is with some honey drizzled on them – which is good too, but variety is much more fun. Thanks for the recipes.
Rachie Big fan as well and the hubs LOVES them! Some delicious ideas here – thanks hun x
Kris Wow, I would eat every single thing in this slideshow. Those guacamole cups look scrumpticous!
Kate One of everything, please! Avocados are my favorite. Thank you very much for including my burrito in your roundup!
Katherine Ummmmmmm my mouth is watering!! I eat a large Hass avocado everyday…sometimes more than that hehe. I will absolutely be trying most if not all of these! Thanks for posting Chanel!
Clem Besides the lovely salad where can I get the fabulous tablecloth?!
Bill Knight I like them with hickory or mesquite seasoning salt.

By Melissa Garvey, ACNM Communications Manager A study published in the September 2012 issue of ACNM's peer-reviewed journal, the Journal of Midwifery & Women's Health (JMWH), shows that more US women are seeing midwives, nurse practitioners (NPs), and physician assistants (PAs) for maternity care. Analyzing data from the National Health Interview Surveys (NHIS), lead study author Katy Bates Kozhimannil, PhD, MPA, along with coauthors Melissa Avery, CNM, PhD, and Carrie Ann Terrell, MD, found...

Vodka and seltzer. Rum and diet. Whiskey and water. These common cocktails served up with low- or no-calorie mixers get you drunker, faster than full-cal versions of the drinks, according to a new study — and expose diet-cocktail drinkers to possible safety risks.
Dennis L. Thombs, PhD, of the University of North Texas Health Science Center, previously found that bar patrons who drink alcohol with diet drinks leave the bar more intoxicated than those consuming full-calorie drinks. A new study published in the journal Alcoholism: Clinical & and Experimental Research is the first to confirm Thombs' finding in a lab setting.
The study quantified lo-cal drinking's impact — 18 percent higher blood alcohol levels. And in an interview this morning, one of the study's authors suggested why sugary drinks keep you more sober.
When you mix alcohol with regular soda, juice, or another mixer with sugar and calories, your body treats your drink more like food, according to researcher Cecile A. Marczinski, PhD, an assistant professor of psychology at Northern Kentucky University. The drink stays in your stomach longer, as a result, and the alcohol is absorbed into your bloodstream more slowly. When you drink alcohol with a diet mixer, the drink flows through your digestive system faster, allowing your small intestine to release more alcohol into your bloodstream.
"Just as we've known for a long time that eating food with alcohol slows your body's absorption of alcohol, sugary drinks also appear to keep alcohol in the stomach longer, which is a good thing," Marczinski explains.
In the study, Marczinski and her team dosed participants with either vodka mixed with Squirt or diet Squirt. Researchers recorded the participants' blood alcohol content and asked them to rate their level of intoxication, fatigue, impairment, and willingness to drive. Although the subjects had higher blood alcohol levels after drinking the diet drinks, they did not think they were more intoxicated.
"What we found was, when people consumed the same amount of alcohol with a diet drink instead of regular, their [blood alcohol levels] were 18 percent higher," Marczinski said. "But I think probably nobody realizes that this is a concern, so awareness of this effect is the key thing."
Women should be especially aware of this effect, Marczinski says. They're more likely than men to order alcohol with diet drinks, and women are already more sensitive to the effects of alcohol. Marczinski's safe drinking tip? Alternate between alcoholic drinks and something non-alcoholic to both limit calorie consumption and keep intoxication levels in check.

By Amy Mitchell, Tom Rosenstiel and Laura Houston Santhanam of PEJ and Leah Christian of the Pew Research Center
The era of mobile digital technology has crossed a new threshold.
Half of all U.S. adults now have a mobile connection to the web through either a smartphone or tablet, significantly more than a year ago, and this has major implications for how news will be consumed and paid for, according to a detailed new survey of news use on mobile devices by the Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism (PEJ) in collaboration with The Economist Group.
At the center of the recent growth in mobile is the rapid embrace by Americans of the tablet computer. Nearly a quarter of U.S. adults, 22%, now own a tablet device-double the number from a year earlier. Another 3% of adults regularly use a tablet owned by someone else in their home. And nearly a quarter of those who don't have a tablet, 23%, plan to get one in the next six months. Even more U.S. adults (44%) have smartphones, according to the survey, up from 35% in May 2011.
News remains an important part of what people do on their mobile devices-64% of tablet owners and 62% of smartphone owners say they use the devices for news at least weekly, tying news statistically with other popular activities such email and playing games on tablets and behind only email on smartphones (not including talking on the phone). This means fully a third of all U.S. adults now get news on a mobile device at least once a week.
Mobile users, moreover, are not just checking headlines on their devices, although nearly all use the devices for the latest new updates. Many also are reading longer news stories - 73% of adults who consume news on their tablet read in-depth articles at least sometimes, including 19% who do so daily. Fully 61% of smartphone news consumers at least sometimes read longer stories, 11% regularly.
And for many people, mobile devices are adding how much news they consume. More than four in ten mobile news consumers say they are getting more news now and nearly a third say they are adding new sources.
These findings and others in this report build upon a comprehensive study conducted by PEJ and The Economist Group a year ago that provided an in-depth look at news consumption on tablets among early adopters. The new report, which is based on a survey of 9,513 U.S. adults conducted from June-August 2012 (including 4,638 mobile device owners), probes mobile news habits more deeply across the wider population of users, looks at smart phone use as well, and examines the financial implications of those habits for news.
The survey also finds that consumers have yet to embrace certain features that mobile devices offer. While mobile technology allows people to get news anywhere, and any time, most people get news on these devices when they are at home-and roughly half of mobile news users get news on their device just once a day. Similarly, the use of news apps on mobile devices, which many publishers hoped would be a way to charge for content, remains limited. Most people still use a browser for news on their tablet.
Perhaps most pressing for the industry, the survey shows continued resistance to paying for content on mobile devices. More mobile news users have print-only subscriptions than have digital ones. Just 24% of them are considering exchanging their print subscription for a digital one (though these tend to be younger subscribers, which suggests their numbers will grow).
When it comes to advertising, there are suggestions that ads seeking to deliver a message or reinforce a brand may have more potential than those tied to e-commerce.
Taken together, the data reveal that, even with a broadening population owning mobile devices that offer a range of activities, owners are still drawn heavily to news. What's more, there is a sizable cohort using mobile devices to broaden and strengthen their news experience, particularly male mobile news consumers who employ both apps and browsers, have a wireless data plan, get news multiple times throughout the day, and across a wide variety of platforms.
Among the detailed findings of the study:
These mobile news users were also asked about their news habits on the conventional laptop/desktop computer. Their responses suggest that even as the population of tablet owners broadens, the idea that we have entered a post-PC era is overstated-at least when it comes to news. The desktop computer remains an enduring part of people's news consumption-perhaps because during weekdays it is a work tool. Despite all of the convenience of mobile, fully 41% of mobile users who still get news on the laptop and print prefer the conventional computer for doing so. Tablets rank second at 25%, followed by print. The smartphone ranked last. This is a shift from the very early adopters surveyed in 2011 who showed strong passion for their new devices, and it may speak to both the broadening population and a natural settling down as the "newness" factor wears off.

Comments On Feb 04, 2013:Just spent a few days up in Death Valley with these mounted on my 1998 620 Adventure and I have to say they were excellent. The spikes sink right into the soles of my boots and I never once missed a peg or felt my feet slip in the slightest. Excellent product for twice the price.

Comments On Jan 15, 2013:These pegs are WIDE and SHARP. I am just coming off of a pair of Ankle Savers on a different bike after tearing my achilles tendon and dont feel that I need to go back to the Ankle Savers. These pegs are like running boards but still allow you to "move around".

Comments On Dec 28, 2012:These are very lightweight compared to the stock steel pegs on most bikes. The grip is fantastic with the plus side of it not destroying my boot soles in the process. The pegs are pretty wide and give a nice stable platform.

Comments On Oct 15, 2012:Light weight and lots of traction. However, they crack and stretch because they're aluminum. Would not recommend for riding any place with rocks and log crossings. Mine lasted 2 months.

Comments On Oct 05, 2012:I finished the last 30 miles of an enduro with one peg because I crashed and ripped one of these pegs right off the bike. I thought it was a fluke so I bought another set. It happened again but luckily it was just a trail ride. these pegs would be a 5 star if they were steel!

Jan 31: D-Day for Conflict Minerals ComplianceRaw materials are in the headlines again, and it's not for rising costs this time. Instead, electronic companies are scrambling to meet the January 31 Securities & Exchange Commission deadline for reporting on "conflict minerals" -- gold, tin, tantalum, and tungsten -- that have entered the supply chain. It isn't as simple as filling out a quick form and forgetting about it; most companies lack the information, processes, and technology needed to adhere to the new SEC reporting standard. Compliance won't be easy or cheap. According to Deloitte, "The SEC has estimated it will cost U.S. businesses between $3 billion and $4 billion to implement processes to comply with "the rule." Right now, affected companies are asking suppliers these seemingly basic questions:
My hope is that there is a silver lining to this new level of reporting: Companies should be compelled to gain this level of visibility into the supply chain for every raw material, facility, and product, reducing costs and risks. |

Adopting a holistic approach to spend analysis in procurement is a viable strategy for maximizing performance throughout the organization.
OEMs and components suppliers should prepare for a more volatile supply chain in 2012, but they can take steps to mitigate the problems.

You've heard the saying "the No. 1 supply chain risk is your people." That hasn't always been the case. But today's complex global supply chain requires a new type of multitalented employee. It's one who understands, finance, marketing, economics, is savvy with technology, graceful with relationships and can think analytically.
Where are these people? Are universities properly preparing the next generation supply chain professionals? How do train your existing workforce for these new, demanding positions?
Brian Fuller, editor-in-chief of EBN, will lead a 60-minute Avnet Velocity panel discussion that will ask and answer these and other questions swirling around today's supply-chain talent challenges.

Review: Bermudez Ron Viejo Blanco
Review: Bermudez Ron Viejo Blanco 88/100
a review by Chip Dykstra (Aka Arctic Wolf)
Posted July 29, 2010
This is the fourth review I am publishing with respect to the rums of Ron Bermudez. I previously reviewed the Ron Anejo Bermudez 5 Anos; the Bermudez Don Armando; and the Bermudez Anniversario upon my blog using sample bottles provided to my by J. Ernesto Orozco of Biwest Imports Ltd. My sample bottle of the Bermudez Ron Viejo Blanco rum was also supplied by Biwest Imports Ltd., as they are introducing the Bermudez rums into my home Province of Alberta.
The Bermudez Distillery is the oldest commercial rum distillery in the Dominican Republic. The words on the bottle 'Viejo Blanco' translate from Spanish to English as 'Old White', indicating to me that the Bermudez rum is an aged clear rum. Exactly how old I am not sure, but I expect, based upon the particular wording used here, that the rum is aged anywhere from 1/2 year to 3 years.
In the Bottle 4/5
The Viejo Blanco arrives in a tall, clear, flagon style bottle bearing a simple white label with strong easy to read black and red fonts. My bottle is entirely in Spanish, but as indicated above, I can roughly translate the Viejo Blanco name to discern some information as to the rum's age. I can also clearly see that this rum is bottled at 40 % alcohol by volume. A gold foil sits atop the pressed on screw at the top of the bottle. The display is rather simplistic; but, for an entry-level rum it is acceptable.
In the Glass 8.5/10
In my glass, the rum is a very pale brown colour which when held up to the light displays a greenish tint. The colour is very reminiscent of reposado tequila which has not been coloured with caramel. I am not sure whether this indicates a spirit which was 'rested' in oak a brief time, without any charcoal filtering, or whether the spirits was aged longer in oak but not filtered to be almost clear. In my experience the colour of the Viejo Blanco is unusual for this category of rum.
A very gentle toffee/molasses rises out of the glass followed by a soft waft of oak spice, banana and orange peel. I allowed the glass to breathe for about two minutes, and I was rewarded with the inviting scent of brown sugar and cinnamon baking spice. The aroma was much nicer than I was anticipating. There is very little harshness or medicinal quality in the aroma from the glass. I also did not detect any of the vegetal tones are reminiscent of a very young spirit. My thoughts here are that the rum displays a nose which is more consistent with an 3-year-old rum than one which has been aged less than a 1 year.
When I swirled the rum, I noticed a little smooth oil on the side of the glass. As I watched, small droplets of rum formed and began to slide down the side of the glass. I nosed the glass one last time, and the fully decanted rum had become more heavily scented with a spicy toffee aroma with firmer accents of citrus.
In the Mouth 54/60
The Bermudez Ron Viejo is very similar in taste profile to the Bermudez Don Armando which I reviewed earlier. It is not quite as suave and smooth as the 10-year-old, but is it perhaps one of the smoothest 'blanco' rums I have encountered to date. It is slightly sweet in the mouth, but still carries enough spice to warm the tonsils.
The main characteristics of flavour are a firm but light oak spice, a mellow butterscotch, a hint of orange peel, dabs of cinnamon, and perhaps a smidgen of Apricot brandy. Perhaps the apricot flavour was imagined, but I seemed to find it resting with light oak spices.
In the Throat 12.5/15
The rum has a smooth exit leaving a nice light toffee and citrus spice on the back of my palate. The burn was strong enough to warm my throat, but there was not enough burn to be uncomfortable. A lack of bitterness capped the experience, which is exactly how I like my rum to finish.
The Afterburn 9/10
The Bermudez Ron Viejo Blanco was an unexpected surprise. I arranged for my rum club to be given a sample bottle for testing and sampling, and although many of the members will typically wince when tasting a white rum, the reaction to the Bermudez Viejo Blanco was very different. Unanimously (20 different persons tasting), the feeling was that this rum was much more similar to an aged rum than a white rum. I even caught glimpses of some members slipping back to the bottle to steal a second sample even though we also had much older bottles to sample from that evening. These experiences confirmed my believe that this is no ordinary blanco rum; it is a nice smooth rum with a gentle flavour profile which can hold its own with older rums.
When I mixed the Viejo Blanco with a splash of Coca Cola, it was wonderful, and when I mixed it with various fruit combinations, I was always happy with the result. It is a very versatile mixing rum with the added benefit that it be enjoyed neat, or with a little ice if mixing isn't your style.
If you are interested in comparing more scores, here is a link to my other published Rum Reviews.
Suggested Recipes:
I was in a creative mood and wanted to try a daiquiri style drink with this rum using lime and pineapple and I came up with what I call the
Ron Bermudez Pineapple Daiquiri
1 1/2 oz Bermudez Ron Viejo Blanco
juice from 1/2 Lime
1/2 oz pineapple syrup
Pineapple for garnish
Place the first three ingredients in a metal shake with ice
Shake until the sides of the metal shaker are well frosted
Strain into a cocktail glass
Garnish with a chunk or slice of Pineapple
The first one was so good that I decided to make another. Then I decided I wanted something just a little taller in the glass and so I added the ice from the shaker and lengthened the cocktail with soda. I call this long drink, The Gentle Hammock, because that was where I spent my afternoon enjoying several nice tall ones.
1 1/2 oz Bermudez Ron Viejo Blanco
juice from 1/2 Lime
1/2 oz pineapple syrup
Pineapple for garnish
Place the first three ingredients in a metal shake with ice
Shake until the sides of the metal shaker are well frosted
Strain into a cocktail glass
Lengthen with soda (I used Sprite)
Garnish with a chunk or slice of Pineapple
Definitely a nice tall refreshing drink for relaxing in the backyard hammock when the sun is warm and the afternoon is lazy.
And always remember, my aim is not to have you drink more, it is to have you drink better!
My Final Score is out of 100 and you may (loosely) interpret the score as follows:
0-25 A spirit with a rating this low would actually kill you.
26-49 Depending upon your fortitude you might actually survive this.
50 -59 You are safe to drink this…but you shouldn't.
60-69 Substandard swill which you may offer to people you do not want to see again.
70-74 Now we have a fair mixing rum or whisky. Accept this but make sure it is mixed into a cocktail.
75-79 You may begin to serve this to friends, again probably still cocktail territory.
80-84 We begin to enjoy this spirit neat or on the rocks. (I will still primarily mix cocktails)
85-89 Excellent for sipping or for mixing!
90-94 Definitely a primary sipping spirit, in fact you may want to hoard this for yourself.
95-97.5 The Cream of the Crop
98+ I haven't met this bottle yet…but I want to.
Very loosely we may put my scores into terms that you may be familiar with on a Gold, Silver, and Bronze medal scale as follows:
70 – 79.5 Bronze Medal (Recommended only as a mixer)
80 – 89.5 Silver Medal (Recommended for sipping and or a high quality mixer)
90 – 95 Gold Medal (Highly recommended for sipping and for sublime cocktails.)
95.5+ Platinum Award (Highest Recommendation)

High school wrestling: University's Dominic Monaco takes title at Kenston (with video)
University's Dominic Monaco was an underdog in his 145-pound championship match at the Kenston Invitational Tournament.
More than two minutes into match, he looked like one, too.
Fairfield senior Adam Sams is a three-time state qualifier — finishing eighth in Division I in 2011 — and had his way with Monaco through the first period.
Trailing just 2-1, Monaco didn't look his best and appeared to be falling further behind. But after 30 seconds fighting on bottom, the senior turned the table on Sams, getting a reversal and back points before finishing off the pin in 3 minutes, 36 seconds.
"When I chose down (to start the second period) I knew what move he was going to do and fought my best to avoid it," said Monaco, who was a state qualifier as a sophomore. "I was able to get around him and took my time trying to finish him.
"When the ref smacked the mat and I knew it was over, I was so happy to get the win."
Monaco pinned his first three opponents on Friday, all in the first period, and beat West Branch's Braycen Shelton, 8-1, in a semifinal. Sams did about the same, with three pins and a 12-6 win to reach the championship match.
"I thought coming in that it the match would be close and go the distance," Monaco said. "He's good on his feet. He's placed at state before. As each match (this weekend) went on, I got more and more confident that I could take first."
Last season, Monaco fell to another Fairfield wrestler, then-senior Jake Neyer, in a semifinal. Continued...
Injuries have been a problem for Monaco during his career with the Preppers — he lost his only two matches at state after an injury-plagued regular season — and a KIT win is a major confidence boost as the calendar flips to 2013.
"Having lost to a Fairfield kid last year in the semis, it was good to get a little redemption," Monaco said. "This is a good stepping stone for me to get back to the state tournament. It's good knowing that I'm right up there in (Sams') caliber as we get closer and closer to the postseason."
University's Walker Chieffe (120) placed third, beating Parma Senior's Tyler Workman, 6-4.
The Bombers also had a champion in Nate Lewis at 220 pounds. The senior bested Strongsville's Justin Gauden, 4-1. Lewis got an early takedown and was never really threatened by Gauden for all three periods.
Neil Roff (132) also made the championship match but lost to Parma's T.J. Levitsky in a 15-2 major decision.
"Winning this tournament is something I've looked forward to since I worked it in middle school," Lewis said. "It's been one of my main goals. I was so excited to be able to pull it off."
Kenston (103.5 team points) finished an area-best eighth in the 28-team tournament. South (84) was the next best in 14th. Parma (182.5) was the team champion, followed by Fairfield (171.5).
North's Kenny Hoberney lost an 8-6 decision to Andre Lowery of Shaker Heights to finish second at 106 pounds. Hoberney trailed by four late in the third period and got a reversal, but the sophomore couldn't keep Lowery on his back long enough to earn any more points.
University's Kostas Parrish pinned South's Dom Guinta (285) in the third place match.
The Rebels had Russ Porter (160) place fourth. Continued...
Geneva's Jason Huelskamp (182) finished in fourth, while Berkshire's Cody Charvat (138) was fourth.

Sneak peek at Google Voice client MetroTalk for Windows Phone 8
For those of us stuck with multiple phone numbers or who like free SMS messaging, Google Voice is a pretty great service (we do wish Microsoft had their own version though). Google of course can't be bothered with making a Windows Phone client so instead we have to rely on our cadre of great third party app developers.
MetroTalk is one of those apps for Google Voice and we managed to spend some time with the upcoming Windows Phone 8 version. Windows Phone 8 messaging apps will benefit the most from the new APIs offered to developers and consumers will get a much better experience—faster apps, better notifications and many more options.
MetroTalk for Windows Phone 8 does a nice job of taking advantage of these news as it includes the following new features:
- Three tile sizes
- Fast resume
- Multi-size tile support
- Lock-screen unread counter
- Text-to-speech
- Secondary tiles are working now on WP8
- Added new icon for the Call/Text secondary tile
Fast resume is very useful as it allows you to reengage the Live Tile without having it re-launch the app (as now happens on Windows Phone 7.x). Instead, the app will resume where you last left it, which is ideal if you have an ongoing chat with someone.
The Lock screen notifications are obviously very welcomed. We rely on Google Voice a lot so being able to get a message counter on the Lock screen is extremely helpful. Throw in the other features like text-to-speech, more Tile options and the overall speed enchantments from Windows Phone 8, MetroTalk feels complete now both in features and performance.
Watch our video hands on above to get a preview of those new functions and we'll let you know when the updated version lands in the Windows Phone Store, probably within the next two weeks.
MetroTalk comes with a free trial and the full version will run you $1.49, which you can find here in the Store. Current users will of course receive the Windows Phone 8 update free of charge.

Google can't be bothered to make any applications for WP.
mmoses1978 says:
Google is afraid of competition.
S_C_B says:
I know you're not serious, so I'll just chuckle at that statement. They make plenty of Google apps for iOS. When/if Windows Phones gets some decent marketshare, trust that there will be some official Google apps. The first one should be a re-do of the hideous Google search app.
WixosTrix says:
It certainly doesn't help WP that they aren't there. It wouldn't kill Google to make a fricking YouTube app. Newly 100% of users would use it whether it was great or crappy as long as it played videos.
CoZmicShReddeR says:
Why kill google? SuperTube is far better an app then anything Google has made! But its not free...
poken1151 says:
See, this is what a lot of people keep saying, if WP gets larger market share... I'm not saying it's impossible, but it's a slow process when nearly al devs are saying the same thing or waiting to be bribed.
I won't move over till it gets a larger share, but people in general are reserved in moving over because of the failing of dev work, then devs don't move because enough people aren't on it, then people don't move because the dev's killer apps aren't there, then the dev's don't move because... You get the picture.
I understand that what used to be basement devs are now fully fledged mini-corps so it's not about getting views anymore, it's a business proposition to make for WP whereas before it was just a What-if exploration for iOS and maybe Android. So to keep repeating that mantra seems like such a slow growing process...
WPCrook says:
I agree, this is a silly statement. Google, although sometimes pathetic, is not led by idiots. Why create an app for a platform that is barely crawling, let alone running? The day it is recognised in the same light as Android or iOS will be the day Google develops a good, first party app. Google really don't care.
Round And Round says:
Don't need an app when the website works just fine.
mrfu55y says:
Does it work as good as the google maps website on windows phone
simpkijd says:
I use my Google Voice account daily. I currently use Go Voice for my L920. It's great to see a little movement on a WP8 app.
S_C_B says:
I use GoVoice, also on my 920. Does what it needs to do.
apoelin says:
You could try this after the WP8 version is out, and see what you think. I think you will like it :) There is a free (ad-supported) version, without any limitation compared to the paid version.
simbadogg says:
you pointed out that it has text to speech for reading back a message, but does it have speech to text when composing so you can dictate a message?
apoelin says:
Not in this version. Who knows what will happen in a few weeks though.. :)
Kevin Michaluk says:
Nice screencaps. Lol.
Round And Round says:
MS does have their own version, its called Skype and messenger.....DUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
xcharles718 says:
Does WP8 allow for 3rd-parties apps to intergrate with the messenging hub?
It just something I always wanted since I can keep conversations in one thread(like intergrated-Facebook chat & SMS).
apoelin says:
As far as I know, no. The only available integration is with the dialer and VoIP.
jmor88 says:
No calls over cell data or wifi yet?
mtmjr90 says:
That's not exactly true. While there's no direct VoIP service for Google Voice, there is Gmail VoIP integration. If you have a Google Voice number, you can set it up so that you can place/receive true VoIP calls via your Google Voice number in Gmail. Also, on iOS/Android there are apps that use this service (Talkatone, GrooVeIP) and allow you to do VoIP calls using your Google Voice number...unfortunately none yet for Windows Phone.
mrfu55y says:
Google need to release voice to the rest of the world.
prjkthack says:
MetroTalk's icon/tile is still ugly as hell. But at least the app is coming along nicely.
TMavC5 says:
App works great. I've been using since released for free. Much better than GoVoice.
ScottAB says:
I am a huge fan of Google Voice (about the only Google service I use). Would love an official app, but happy to see G stand pat on not making apps for WP. There needs to be compelling reason to use "our" service, whether it be Google Office (or whatever it is called), maps, voice, et al. I feel the same about the iToys and WP. Keep it exclusive. I thought I would get some slick exlusive apps to interact with my 360 two years ago when I got my HD7. Instead all I can do is change my avatar - very weak MS. If WP can't have exlusive apps, then at least give us some "premier" apps, or leave those using robot phones and iToys last years version. What is my reward for suffering with WP7 MS? Rant off, thanks for thoughtful comments.
Tariq Elsaid says:
I dont have it in the windows store on the Nokia Lumia 920?!! is it because im in the U.S.A?? do I checked for phone updates and my phone is up to date, whats going on here? btw is this a free app or not? PLEASE HELP/ COMMENT
