Nextel keeps moving on push-to-talk

Nextel Communications isn't waiting for more mobile operators to roll out would-be competitors to Direct Connect, the pioneering "push-to-talk" service that lets subscribers talk instantly to friends and associates. It's charging ahead to extend that service and its capabilities, reports InfoWorld.

Amongst the new features:

- Nextel will be introducing a handset-to-handset push-to-talk capability that lets users keep communicating even if the cellular network goes down. This capability could be critical for public safety employees in emergencies.

- Nextel plans to introduce camera phones and MMS capabilities this year, enabling its business customers using MMS, to send audio and video files to and from phones.
