Google Adds Call Screening Controls to Google Voice
Like UnlikeFiled in: Google
Google today added new calling and contact management controls to its Google Voice product. The new tools give Google Voice users greater control over who can reach their Google Voice number. The controls come in the form of new address book groupings. Moving forward, numbers that appear in a user's address book can be given individual settings, such as dedicated greetings for specific people. The tool can also be used as a white-label service to screen people who aren't in the contact book.

ASUS MeMO 370T 7-inch tablet clears the FCC, leaves no trace of Ice Cream or Jelly behind

The 7-inch ASUS Eee Pad MeMO ME370T we saw in early prototype form during CES just passed through the FCC. It's still only showing WiFi radios with no trace of a cellular connection, although if it's going to be the $249 standard bearer NVIDIA and ASUS were so excited about, that's to be expected. A juicier rumor that has surfaced in the intervening period however, suggests this device will actually be released as a Google Nexus 7-inch tablet (or just sold from a Google store), and could even feature the next version of Android, codenamed Jelly Bean. It could also sell for as low as $149, although the cheaper reworked version might swap out the Tegra processor for one from Qualcomm. We didn'...
