Apple users can now enjoy iPhone-like “Visual Voicemail” on their computer with any mobile phone and with virtually any service provider to access mobile communications on the desktop, handset, or web.

Santa Barbara, Calif., January 16, 2008 – CallWave, Inc. (Nasdaq: CALL) today announced it’s portfolio of services for the Apple user including the industry’s first Virtual Voicemail client for the Apple Mac running on OS X Tiger or Leopard.

With CallWave at their fingertips, users can leverage the power of their Mac to access and manage their mobile voicemail – maximizing their time at the computer and adding new convenience to everyday communications.

“Apple’s approach to visual voicemail is a step forward in giving users what they want – simple, relevant services – but our goal is to take the experience to the next level,” said Jeff Cavins, Chief Executive Officer of CallWave. “The CallWave Virtual Voicemail service adds greater convenience, flexibility and compatibility between the devices on which we rely on most – our computer and phone. With CallWave, Mac users can enjoy ‘on-demand,’ anywhere access to voicemail with the ability to reply, archive and search messages – in the same manner as email, SMS and IM.”

Continued Cavins, “We first introduced our Visual Voicemail widget via the Apple Dashboard in early 2007 and the response from the Mac community was overwhelming. We’re excited to now offer all Apple users even more services, empowering users to interact with their communications and devices in new and innovative ways.”
