Internet major Google has released a new update, which brings voice-calling feature to desktop Hangouts, across Google+, Gmail, and the Chrome extension. Along with this functionality, Google has also announced toll free calls to the United States and Canada from all supporting countries.
Google says that the calling feature will be rolled out to all Hangouts users in the next couple of days. Users can then use the service to converse (even make video calls) with up to 10 other people at once. In line with this, Google also suggests that users can expect more Google Voice features to be integrated with Hangouts.
Once live, users will notice a phone-like icon in their Gmail accounts, and the "Call a Phone" menu option in Google+ and Chrome extension. Google, has been on a product revamping spree, as the internet giant changed the user interface (UI) of its popular Google Maps service, and even released the redesigned Google Maps app for Android.
With over a million downloads of the popular music app, Hungama plans on improving the experience by adding features like Adaptive streaming.
The Hungama music app has launched updates for its iOS and Android version with the new adaptive streaming feature for audio and video. The iOS app is also now compatible with iPhone 5. iOS app also has Airplay. Android users can now use the Google Wallet to pay and download content from the app.
The adaptive streaming feature enables you to play your favourite songs and videos seamlessly irrespective of the connectivity be it 2G or 3G or Wi-Fi. The user needs to change the sound quality to default ‘Auto’ mode under ‘Settings’ of MY PLAY. The app automatically detects the network and adjusts the sound quality based on the bandwidth available to your device. Airplay feature allows you to beam your music and videos via your Apple TV in both audio and video players.
You can download the app from the official Hungama site.

Facebook, the world's most popular social networking site, has turned nine today. With over one billion active users, the social networking giant still continues to grow, since its launch on February 4, 2004.
While, the company CEO Mark Zuckerberg is best known as the man who built Facebook, the company hasthree other co-founders, all college roommates and fellow students of Harvard University; Eduardo Saverin, Dustin Moskovitz, and Chris Hughes.
The four initially built the service exclusively for Harvard students, but it was soon expanded to other colleges and eventually added support for students at various other universities.
Initially before its public launch, it was called 'thefacebook.com'. However, on 4th February 2008, Zukerberg renamed to domain name and launched what we know today as'Facebook'.
According to Social Media Today, in April 2010 an estimated 41.6 per cent of the US population had a Facebook account.
In India, Facebook has registered a growth of 132 per cent this year, which is higher than many other countries.
In some countries, such as Turkey or Chile, up to 80 per cent of Internet users are registered with Facebook. The Russian Facebook audience exceeds 5 million people

What a difference three months can make.
At the end of August, Apple seemed on top of the world. Fresh off a resounding $1.05 billion US legal victory over arch-foe Samsung Electronics, the company was gearing up to launch the fifth iteration of its iconic iPhone. Just a week prior, its market value had surpassed Microsoft's and it became the most valuable technology company in history.
That was then. Since winning a landmark US patent infringement case in August, its stock has dived 18 per cent, wiping $108 billion from its value. But the shares of defeated party Samsung have surged, rising 16 per cent.
The dramatic reversal has sparked raging market speculation. Some pundits say concerns are growing about the seemingly inexorable advance of Google's Android, the rival software championed by Samsung. Others say fears about higher capital gains taxes have prompted investors made rich by Apple's stock-price growth to sell.
But it is the Apple-Samsung rivalry that defines a global mobile device industry with a growing list of struggling players. Together, the two mobile juggernauts account for more than 1 in 2 smartphones sold globally.
Analysts say Samsung is beginning to shed its aura as a "fast follower" and becoming a serious innovator, while Apple has failed to deliver on a truly seminal product in years - the oft-rumored Apple TV remains a well-honed rumour.
"Apple's actions have started to appear as if innovation is slowing and they're defending turf with a zero-sum market view rather than continuing to innovate as a world-beating leader," said Tony Nash, managing director at IHS, a business information provider.
The clash of the gadget titans underscores a broader battle between Apple and Google's increasingly popular Android mobile software, now installed on about two out of every three smartphones sold.
But some Asian analysts also point to Samsung's very different business model as helping it get a leg up on Apple.
The iPad maker's outsourcing structure provides fatter margins, but cedes some control to an army of suppliers, while Samsung's competitiveness is driven by keeping most of its manufacturing in-house.
And while Apple focuses on a few high-end mobile devices, Samsung's product breadth helps it scoop up new, less affluent users who can then be driven towards higher-margin devices, such as the phone-tablet combo Galaxy Note.
"In Asia, Samsung is still in the stronger growth position when it comes to smartphones - bringing large-screen models to the masses, re-introducing the pen with its Galaxy Note series and also, at the lower-end, with its entry-level Galaxy Y devices driving emerging markets like Indonesia and India," said
Melissa Chau, Singapore-based research manager at IDC.
Samsung shift
No one is writing off Apple, still the world's most valuable listed company and expected to chalk up 27 percent revenue growth to almost $200 billion in fiscal 2013 - about level with Samsung.
"There have certainly been missteps at Apple ... but if we look at what's been achieved in the year since (co-founder Steve) Job's death, there are things that keep their competitors quaking in their boots," said Rachel Lashford, Managing Director, Mobile and APAC, at consultancy Canalys in Singapore.
Among its strengths, she cited unprecedented demand around new launches, the expansion of content on iTunes and the Apps Store, a possible move to product updates twice a year, efforts to improve parts supply and manufacturing, the dogged legal pursuit of Samsung and cash reserves of more than $120 billion.
Its gross margins of above 40 percent are double Samsung's.
But the South Korean company is now beginning to generate some buzz with recent improvements in its line-up. This week, news emerged that it is likely accelerating the launch of its next-generation flagship Galaxy smartphone - which sports an unbreakable screen.
Codenamed "Project J," the Galaxy S IV could be released as early as March or April, according to leading industry analysts and tech blogs. With smartphones increasingly looking alike, an unbreakable screen could be a big selling point for the Galaxy over the iPhone.
"Samsung's richer product line-up and vertically integrated supply structure are among its strongest advantages over Apple's simpler product range and strength in software," said Kim Young-chan, an analyst at Shinhan Investment Corp in Seoul.
Samsung is estimated to have shipped close to 56 million smartphones in July-September, more than double the number of iPhones, and analysts expect it to sell around 30 million more smartphones than Apple this quarter.
The South Korean firm's shift comes as its Cupertino, California-based rival suffered from some missteps in its iPhone 5 mapping app, supply constraints that have prompted delivery delays and allegations of employee abuse at supplier plants in China.
Charles Moon, Singapore-based principal analyst at Informa Telecoms & Media, a research consultancy, sees these as a sign Apple is adjusting to maturing markets.
"A completely offensive strategy with uncontested gains are a thing of the past," he said. "Apple is not positioned well at the moment following a couple of disappointing quarters and continued negative news flow.
"Regardless of what happens (in the court ruling), Samsung and Android are winning where it counts - outside the courtroom - and this is likely to go on unless Apple can continue to reinvent itself. Very difficult, considering how far they've come, but not impossible. They've done it before," he added.
Apple's "loss of market share and of opportunities like a stalled China Mobile agreement are notable and, potentially, show some strengths of an integrated hardware-led model of players like Samsung against the comprehensive hardware-software ecosystem model of Apple," said Nash at IHS.
"This competition is far from over and my hope is that it forces very strong and continued innovation from Apple, Samsung and others."
