Cloud Telecomputers, a software vendor working in business applications and IP telephony, willbeexhibiting Glass, its Android (News - Alert)-based platform for desktop business smartphones, at the Metaswitch Forum 2010 in Orlando, from September 21-24.

"We are excited to introduce Glass to the Metaswitch user community and demonstrate this platform which enables customized, integrated phone features and applications for businesses," said Jim Willenborg, Cloud Telecomputers founder and chairman. "Glass brings the desk phone into the 21st century and renders all traditional methods of business communications obsolete."

The Glass platform has been enhanced since its launch last year, company officials say, to include “upgrades that enable businesses to save money and increase productivity.” Examples they give include gtap to dial -- “by integrating contacts into the desk phone, users can locate numbers and place calls in less time. Users can even tap to dial a phone number directly from a Web page or email message.”

There’s also instant screen sharing. “Anything displayed on a user's PC, such as a presentation or spreadsheet, can be instantly shared via a Web browser using the Glass platform. Glass accelerates communications,” company officials say.

It also offers caller data display, where caller data from LinkedIn, salesforce.com, and other CRM systems is instantly displayed, so the user has all the information at his fingertips without having to conduct a search.

At the show, senior executives from Cloud Telecomputers will be demonstrating these and other new features available on the Glass platform, company officials say: “Glass now includes an 8.9" capacitive touch screen, Bluetooth connectivity, and visual voicemail. Attendees will be able to experience the Glass intuitive user interface and test customized versions of commonly-used business applications, such as salesforce.com and Fedex, at booth #16 at the Metaswitch Forum.”

Cloud Telecomputers launched the Glass platform in August 2009 and began shipping phones to customers in Europe, Asia, and North America in the third quarter of 2010.
