VoIP on the iPhone


One nugget from the SDK launch that may have flown under your radar is when Steve Jobs said that Apple will allow VoIP apps on the iPhone, but only using WiFi. I am very excited about this, as I get poor cell reception in my apartment. I can instead rely on my trusty WiFi signal for phone calls at home. Imagine being able to answer calls, both VoIP and cellular, using just one device, my iPhone. This SDK is a game changer because of how it ties into the combination of superior hardware and OS of the iPhone, something that even Google's Android can't hope to offer (they don't control the hardware) or compete with in terms of overall quality and user experience.

*Update* I guess it didn't slip "under the radar." It made it to the front page of Digg.
