Yet Another VoIP Client: Xten Softphone
"Xten, a provider of VoIP (Voice over IP) and Video over IP SIP softphones, today announced a new mobile IP communications effort www.VoIPmobility.com in concert with the release of their new Windows Mobile Pocket PC SIP softphone X-PRO v2.2 currently available from the VoIPmobility.com or Xten.com websites. This new wireless IP communications effort will leverage Xten's new mobile OS softphones and SDK development for VoIP, Video over IP, Instant Messaging and Presence awareness deployments on wireless networks."
I could have used a graphic of the actual product,
but since it looks the same as every other softphone inter-
face, here's a picture of a happy girl using the product.
Features include:
� Hot 3 way calling action
� Line Hold
� Line Transfer
� Caller ID [Via SIP]
� SIP MD5 Authentication
� Support for multiple SIP accounts
� Touch Tones
� Dial, Hang-up and Redial (<- It's a good thing THESE features are included! - ed)
� Call Timer
� Mute
� Phone Book
Gee, do you think people see a future for VoIP? I'll bet you a shiny dollar that you won't be able to fling a cat at the upcoming CES without hitting a VoIP vendor. Not that I have anything against cats, mind you. At least, not much. Anyway, this is a NEW softphone client for the Pocket PC platform that can apparently do a lot and uses "leveraging" to find and use WiFi, VOIP, UMTS and EV-Dx VoIP networks. Aside from the fact that their new (Flash) site seems to equate usage of their softphone with some kind of divine rapture (complete with glowy white lights), this actually looks like it might have some interesting features. What do you think?

OK forgive this dumb question. I've just gotten into this VoIp thing with my home computer and Tablet PC. I have a Pocket PC phone so instead of using the normal phone function (and spend money using minutes) I could use the Soft Phone and save money right? Is there any issue with my Pocket PC being a phone already? In other words would there be any conflict?

Istanbul is also slated to support point-to-point video using "new high-quality Windows codecs," said sources. CRN has previously reported that Istanbul will support RingCam, a prototype pivoting conference-room camera. RingCam is geared to put faces with the voices in Web conferencing scenarios.
Sources close to the company said to think of Istanbul as the latest-and-greatest Microsoft Messenger instant messaging, but with VoIP support built in.
And again on the topic of VoIP, Microsoft seems keen on launching the beta version of their IM client with VoIP support, code-named "Istanbul". It appears that VoIP has really become a topic of discussion over the past few days.
