Ribbit, a start-up based in Mountain View, California, unveiled its “Amphibian” consumer service for transforming any physical phone into a physical/virtual “dual world” phone. The idea is to enable consumers to use their current phone plans in any number of new and evolving Web environments.
Ribbit’s Amphibian service, which the company calls a “voiceware application, is expected to be available in the second quarter of 2008. The service integrates voice into any number of Web environments including social networking pages, Web-based applications, and mash-ups.
