I predict there will be VoIP capability added to the iPhone in Leopard's iChat... dotMac subscription required, of course.]]>Jul 10th 2007 3:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/10/soonr-talk-workaround-enables-voip-on-your-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/10/soonr-talk-workaround-enables-voip-on-your-iphone/Jul 10th 2007 5:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/10/soonr-talk-workaround-enables-voip-on-your-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/10/soonr-talk-workaround-enables-voip-on-your-iphone/Jul 10th 2007 5:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/10/soonr-talk-workaround-enables-voip-on-your-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/10/soonr-talk-workaround-enables-voip-on-your-iphone/
1. Use AT&T coverage while on the go. Use your minutes.
2. Use VoIP at home under the umbrella of your own WiFi network. Save some minutes. iChat audio invitations could ring to your iPhone. Make phone calls sitting at your computer.

Systems are defined more by their interfaces than the induvidual componenets. Apple have the components, now they need to integrate better.

Sheesh - that brings a whole new level to 'Rube Goldberg' device.

And you think this is a GOOD reason to get an iPhone?

BTW, don't hold your breath on the SIM unlock thing. iPhones don't use standard GSM SIMs. Even if you manage to unlock the iPhone, it still won't take anyone else's SIM - maybe other iPhone carriers, perhaps. And it may not even be possible to 'fix' this - SIMs are crypto-smart cards with most of the plastic cut away. If Apple has made their own version, it may well turn out to be very difficult to modify someone else's SIM to make it work the same way.]]>Jul 10th 2007 7:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/10/soonr-talk-workaround-enables-voip-on-your-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/10/soonr-talk-workaround-enables-voip-on-your-iphone/Jul 10th 2007 3:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/10/soonr-talk-workaround-enables-voip-on-your-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/10/soonr-talk-workaround-enables-voip-on-your-iphone/Jul 10th 2007 3:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/10/soonr-talk-workaround-enables-voip-on-your-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/10/soonr-talk-workaround-enables-voip-on-your-iphone/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_computer ) ? ;)]]>Jul 10th 2007 3:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/10/soonr-talk-workaround-enables-voip-on-your-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/10/soonr-talk-workaround-enables-voip-on-your-iphone/Jul 10th 2007 4:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/10/soonr-talk-workaround-enables-voip-on-your-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/10/soonr-talk-workaround-enables-voip-on-your-iphone/http://www.freeyouriphone.com/

In this case, you need an entire other computer to do the actual VoIP functions - and then call your iPhone *using your airtime minutes* to use your iPhone as a mic/speaker. The ONLY advantage you get with this is that you can make low cost long distance calls - but it's not VoIP on the iPhone!

It's also not an iPhone feature - check the SooR site - it works with almost ANY cellphone...

Or... you could be using some other phone and yanno - install Skype?

Man, the koolaid flows deep here.]]>Jul 10th 2007 7:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/10/soonr-talk-workaround-enables-voip-on-your-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/10/soonr-talk-workaround-enables-voip-on-your-iphone/Jul 10th 2007 9:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/10/soonr-talk-workaround-enables-voip-on-your-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/10/soonr-talk-workaround-enables-voip-on-your-iphone/
Now allow me to pontificate about the benefits of SoonR and the benefit of the "hackers". The iPhone activation process has already been bypassed. This means that you can go buy an iPhone if you have $600 burning a hole in your pocket, bypass the so called "FORCED" AT&T activation, then use your iPhone as a PDA/WiFi device and then use it with SoonR and VoIP.
Granted, this is not a smooth process and the mainstream consumers are not going to all drink the proverbial kool-aid, but it should serve notice to Apple and AT&T that there are people out there that are fed up.

I WANT A UNIVERSAL PHONE THAT ALLOWS ME TO CHOOSE MY CARRIER AT WILL WITHOUT A CONTRACT!!!!!!! Do you hear that corporate America???? You have been warned....

And yes, I did by an iPhone, and guess what, I do not have a 2 year contract. And guess what, my phone works as a phone.... muah ha ha ha....]]>Jul 14th 2007 4:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/10/soonr-talk-workaround-enables-voip-on-your-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/10/soonr-talk-workaround-enables-voip-on-your-iphone/
