If you've been looking for an IP-PBX solution for your biz but have been dissatisfied by the lack of potential lawsuit-inducing options, then Berlin-based 4S newcom GmbH may have just the gear for ya. It's newly announced "iBlue" is an IP-PBX system consisting of the company's own 4S IP PBX software, a Mac mini, and an iPod shuffle, which should be enough to get you up and running with some SIP-based VoIP in no time. The shuffle part of the equation is unfortunately less exciting than you may think, with the now-dated player simply serving as a glorified software-delivery device -- though as our pal Om says, it sure helps grab some attention. Sweeting the deal, 4S is also throwing in five snom300 VoIP phones, with the software licensed for up to 250 users and 30 parallel calls. If that works for ya, you'll be able to grab an iBlue for a cool €3,000 Euro when it launches November 6th.[Via GigaOM]

yeah, because the first thing I wanna run a PBX on is an iMac...
you're right, better run it on a DELL. Hell I work at a place that sells rebranded and recased dells as integrated security solutions.. and even we know not to run our IP-PBX on that shit. cisco all the way :D
If it fails, the creator will be able to say "iBlue it" and be totally correct.
Why pay so much? The Cisco 7940 next to me was under $300 (according to our IT guys...)
That's just a phone. You still need an IP PBX to run it.
For 2400 less Euros, you could do the same thing with Asterisk....
