4G is gonna be the new 2.0! - the king of the interweb

I'm seductive and tends to get really naughty whenever I saw a freakin' gorgeous man. What I need in a man is someone who can make me feel prettier, sexier, and wilder in between the sheets. Race unimportant as long as you're safe and clean! Well, if this sounds fun then just ask me anything for details. You can see me at http://urlcut.com/1wjyb - carmen sara

Currently using SipDroid, any reason to switch? - Mike Chelen

"The joint venture formed by Nortel Networks Corp. and LG Electronics of South Korea plans to tackle the U.S. business equipment market by mid-February with a new Taiwanese partner. LG-Nortel said Thursday that it will pair with Accton Group to roll out a voice and data network for businesses operating under the name Edgecore Networks Inc. LG-Nortel will hold a 60 per cent share in Edgecore while Accton will have the remaining 40 per cent. The two companies will split responsibilities such as research and development, manufacturing, and marketing. “This partnership will provide significant new opportunities to reinforce our brand, increasing our global competitiveness and helping our customers embrace the future opportunities and challenges of the converged communications market,” said LG-Nortel chief executive Jae Ryung Lee in a release." - arnaldostream from Bookmarklet

"Google still can't seem to get a Google Voice application onto the iPhone, so the company went ahead and launched it as a Web app. The mobile page was rolled out on Tuesday, optimized for both the iPhone and Palm's WebOS devices, bringing users some of the same functionality that Android users already enjoy natively. The Web app is an extension of Google's already-existing mobile offerings for Gmail and Google Calendar, and requires the user to log in using his or her Google account. We gave the offerings a run through on an iPhone and came away happy with what Google has been able to accomplish without a native app. Upon first logging in, the app asks you to identify which phone you're using in order to connect to the site; this is so that Google knows what number to connect to when you decide to make a call through Google Voice." - arnaldostream from Bookmarklet

It's not perfect by any stretch, but it's a big step up! - Vicarbott

And probably unique. - arnaldostream

"Currently the source provided is just an example of how to use perl-POE making it act as a SIP proxy. Nevertheless: It can act as a local PBX so all registered parties can call each other. Perfect for home use of SIP phones." - arnaldostream from Bookmarklet

"The FreeSWITCH team is happy to announce the advent of a new open-source project based upon FreeSWITCH: FSComm, the FreeSWITCH-powered softphone. It is available now in the FreeSWITCH source directory." - arnaldostream from Bookmarklet

"Coming Soon: Free Video Conferencing From Google. This was the headline of a recent ZDNet story by Garrett Rogers. Garett based his prediction on an interview with Rishi Chandra, a Google Apps product manager, on SFGate. There, Mr. Chandra said that “launching a voice or video chat session should flow seamlessly within Gmail and mesh organically with the other Apps” and “should be embedded in the core experience across the application set”." - arnaldostream from Bookmarklet

For "that" I mean: PBX like facilities, integration with other DIDs the user might have (his phone numbers) and basically e-mail. - arnaldostream

"Jajah, an Internet-telephony company, has been acquired by Telefonica in a $207 million all-cash deal, the companies said this morning. The deal is subject to regulatory approval by CNC, the Spanish competition authority, according to a release by Telefonica. The company said the purchase of Jajah “significantly enriches Telefónica’s capabilities to offer cutting-edge communications services for customers online — whenever, wherever and however they want.”" - arnaldostream from Bookmarklet

"Good news! We are marching closer to the official release of FreeSWITCH version 1.0.5. The latest and greatest release candidate is now available for download here. We ask that everyone update as soon as possible. This latest pre-release version is the most stable version yet and is much improved over 1.0.4. Those who are already running SVN trunk should do the usual make current operation.

"Siemens Communications will integrate Twitter with its Unified Communications (UC) platform, and PBworks announces plans to offer voice alongside its collaboration and social software services." - arnaldostream from Bookmarklet

"The Sangoma Wiki has a PDF explaining how you can reduce Asterisk system load by up to 70 percent by increasing the chunk size so that you are not getting an interrupt every 1ms. Note that this is only applicable to cards with hardware echo cancellation." - arnaldostream from Bookmarklet

"Google Voice is one of those great services none of us knew we needed until it came along. Now that it's here, we'd like to suggest a few changes that could shape it into an even better productivity tool. Why offer up our unsolicited advice on where Google should next look to improve its phone-controlling service? Because we, and many of our readers, spend a good chunk of time thinking up dream uses for our computers and gadgets, and we want to see those dreams come true. To firm them up, and make a geeky, early-adopter service something everyone can benefit from, we offer up these five features and fixes we'd like to see Google Voice take on. Not quite sure what Google Voice can do already? Take a tour around our screenshot-filled first look, and read our take on who does and doesn't need Google Voice." - arnaldostream from Bookmarklet

In the past 10 years, Voice over IP has emerged as an alternative to the traditional Telephony (PSTN) allowing a reduction in costs and increased capacity on long-distance telephone calls. While providing for lower costs and greater flexibility on converged voice and data networks, VoIP in general failed to deliver ‘better-than-PSTN’ quality, mainly due to the 3.4 Khz bandwidth limitation of legacy narrowband speech codecs. Capitalizing on expanding IP broadband networks, wideband speech codecs which encode 7.1 Khz of the voice spectrum can now be effectively deployed in VoIP. This enables the doubling of bandwidth for voice communications, allowing the elevation of daily voice communication to be similar to that of FM radio and/or conference room quality. - zsafwan  from Bookmarklet

"Coincidentally with the session on mobile voip with Ruben Olsen, I finally pulled the trigger on an iPod Touch “second generation”. This is IMO the iPhone without phone, camera or GPS. What that leaves is a very good mobile computing platform with WiFi, an mp3 and video player and the worlds hippest most intelligent interface to date. Cutting to the chase, I have tried several SIP clients in the last 48 hours, and here are a few of my experiences." - arnaldostream from Bookmarklet

"The FreeSWITCH team is pleased to announce the immediately availability of FreeSWITCH version 1.0.4. (Source tarball available here.) This new version contains many improvements in stability and security as well as some notable additions." - arnaldostream from Bookmarklet

"According to Todd Barr, FreePBX version 3 will not support Asterisk when released. The support will be added "at a later stage". On the good side, FreePBX now support FreeSWITCH. In sum this really is good news for the FreeSWITCH crowd - finally they are getting a GUI that is well known in the Open Source VoIP community." - arnaldostream from Bookmarklet
