Update to: Using the Google Nexus 7 Tablet as a Phone, For Free (+ a Privacy Hint) [no need to reveal passwords!] http://j.mp/Q3DJKB (This message on Google+) Back in August, in "Using the Google Nexus 7 Tablet as a Phone, For Free (+ a Privacy Hint)" - ( http://j.mp/SkqtBJ [Lauren's Blog] ), I discussed how to configure GrooVe IP Lite for making and receiving calls on the Nexus 7 tablet. I'm happy to report that GrooVe IP Lite now directly supports OAuth authentication, making it unnecessary to provide your Google passwords to the app -- and it only requests "chat" credentials. Using the app's OAuth authentication in this manner should be quite safe, and eliminates the concerns noted in the original posting which at the time resulted in recommending that you don't use your main Google accounts with GrooVe IP Lite. If you authenticate the app via OAuth (via any Google account already associated with your device -- you can switch between accounts in just a few seconds) you should be fine. --Lauren-- Lauren Weinstein (lauren@vortex.com): http://www.vortex.com/lauren Co-Founder: People For Internet Responsibility: http://www.pfir.org/pfir-info Founder: - Network Neutrality Squad: http://www.nnsquad.org - PRIVACY Forum: http://www.vortex.com/privacy-info - Data Wisdom Explorers League: http://www.dwel.org - Global Coalition for Transparent Internet Performance: http://www.gctip.org Member: ACM Committee on Computers and Public Policy Lauren's Blog: http://lauren.vortex.com Google+: http://vortex.com/g+lauren / Twitter: http://vortex.com/t-lauren Tel: +1 (818) 225-2800 / Skype: vortex.com _______________________________________________ nnsquad mailing list http://lists.nnsquad.org/mailman/listinfo/nnsquad
