Barablu, the "first" free VoIP mobile-to-mobile calls over WiFi

Barablu announced a new VoIP app this week that they claim is the first to let users make free mobile-to-mobile VoIP calls over WiFi. Ok, while that may sound good, we're going to have to call shenanigans on this one; if Barablu wants to claim that they were the first, they're going to need to travel back in time and release this before, say, Skype released on PPC. Barablu users will be able to make and receive calls within Barablu's network for free, but unlike Skype, users are going to need an existing phone number to receive calls from the outside world. Barablu's site offers up their software for Series 80 and Smartphone devices though, so if you want to give it a go, be our guests; we think we'll stick with Skype for a little while longer, though, thanks.
