Phone.io: free conference calls, voicemail and podcasting from Drop.io
Phony-o? It sounds like an April Fools' Day joke, but it's not. The drop.io team is actually releasing new services at an amazing rate, and the latest is a conference calling, voicemail recording, podcast ready app called Phone.io. It works like any other Drop.io drop, in that you can set it up in a couple of clicks by just naming it and giving it a password.
Your phone.io drop has phone numbers you can use for voicemails or conference calls, and you can save the records as mp3s. Where phone.io really gets cool is in the number of ways you can share your stuff in very few steps. You can embed your audio in other sites, download it, or push it out to RSS or iTunes. If you're into social networks, you can also share it via Facebook or Twitter, and of course, you can share the Drop.io drop itself. Phone.io scores points for both features and ease of use, and it's definitely worth a look if you need to deal with over-the-phone audio.

does drop.io own the .io domain or something?

No, they just use them consistently. A few non-drop.io folks have notable .io domains, too. For example, cameron.io.

Called the conference line - too bad it announces dropio in the introduction: "Welcome to drop-you conferencing". Poor choice of names.

This doesn't seem to bad but, is this going to be just a desktop[ type app or also a mobile app to do phone conferences over your phone live with video and other features etc etc ???

I read that the conference calls don't get recorded, only the voicemail gets recorded. Is this a fact?
