Raketu launches LaunchPad

Raketu is now looking out to reach a greater audience. Being a VOIP company their forte is into VOIP application and service, But now it seems they are playing an entirely new ball game. Surprisingly, they are entering in a VOIP collaboration environment. Jajah is another company which is trying to achieve the same. I will talk about Jajah in detail in my exclusive article this weekend. Do read it :-)

Raketu today introduced its LaunchPad interface, the first to integrate voice over IP (VoIP), IPTV streaming video, VideoOn Demand (VOD), and IM/SMS service in a single, easy-to-navigate desktop application. Is that like a Joost & Skype Clone?Huh, not sure but pretty much there.

Raketu has also added more social networking spice to the launchpad app by bundling podcasting, mediaplayer, and news/information feeds. Raketu also claims that their voice over IP (VoIP) and ipTV streaming video service runsover any Internet connection. Anyone on the Internet with a Windows PC and a headset can start using Raketu's VoIP, ipTV streaming video, andother services immediately.

This needs some reviews, however I myself have noticed with some other application that low quality video cards or lower RAM can coz huge lag on video streaming. It goes to a level where what you are watching doesn't make any sense. However it's also possible due the use of P2P, don't you know how Joost works? But Raketu has always attacked Skype's supernodes technology and claimed that Raketu's p2p technology is superior than supernodes.

Raketu offers streaming video ipTV content from Media GlobalIntertainment (MGI). I guess it's time for me to evaluate their product in detail and report back with a analysis report on Whats the future of Raketu.
