Smartphone/Computer Apps
The latest development in PTT communications is the appearance of apps for this on smartphones such as those running Android or Apple iPhones. Some of these applications are cross-platform, such as TiKL and Zello, and some are only available on one platform. TiKL and Zello are near-real-time systems, similar to Nextel, while other apps such as Voxer provide real-time streaming voice and recorded messages.

Famous quotes containing the word computer:
“The analogy between the mind and a computer fails for many reasons. The brain is constructed by principles that assure diversity and degeneracy. Unlike a computer, it has no replicative memory. It is historical and value driven. It forms categories by internal criteria and by constraints acting at many scales, not by means of a syntactically constructed program. The world with which the brain interacts is not unequivocally made up of classical categories.”
—Gerald M. Edelman (b. 1928)
