iPhone voicemail for Macs
CallWave has released a dashboard widget for Mac OS X Tiger that offers visual voicemail for mobile phones. Through visual voicemail users can see, sort, and listen to cellular phone messages from the desktop. The widget works with most U.S. cellular carriers including Cingular, Verizon, and T-Mobile. Call that aren't taken forward to CallWave, which records the message and displays it in the widget. The CallWave Mobile Pro ($10/mo. subscription) lets users dial an activation code, enabling the phone to send unanswered calls to CallWave while allowing users to listen to voicemail messages as they are left to screen calls. Subscribers to the Pro service also have access to toll-free telephone support during business hours. CallWave requires Mac OS X 10.4 or later, and the widget is available with basic service for free as a digital download from Apple's website.

Hmmmm
I guess this kind of adds more value to the iPhone, as it now costs you another $10/month to get one of iPhone's features on your own phone. I've been saying for years that verizon should let me listen to my voice mails through their web site. Of course they'd try and charge me $1 per listen if they set up such a system. Leaches!
