Creative Wi-Fi inPerson Video Phone Looks Promising

There's little to no official detail available on this Creative Wi-Fi Video phone, called the inPerson, but the FCC has both pictures and the manual available for just anyone to peep through. The specs look beefy: VGA video at 2Mbps, "excellent low light performance," a wide-angle lens, dual microphones, Wi-Fi, rechargeable battery, h.264 video, SIP support, TV-out and remote control.

VoIP Coming to iPod Touch

An iPod Touch developer has just created a SIP-based VoIP app (which works with Asterisk and other open source free and paid VoIP providers) that was ported from an older app called SvSIP. The upside is that iPod Touch users that have the pre-amped mic addon that plugs into the dock connector will be able to actually talk on their iPods. iPhone users won't need the addon to talk (obviously), and should be able to get in on this action soon as well. We'll update when we know more. [Touchmods via TUAW]

Nintendo DS Gets VoIP Courtesy of SvSIP

A member of GBAtemp forums, samuelv, has whipped up a homebrew app that lets you use VoIP on the DS with an SIP account. Yes, phone calls from your DS. Some of the guys in the forum had a bit of difficulty nailing down the settings, but another user, subb, pretty much lays out most of what you need to tweak to get it up and running—several users are now confirming that the app works. If you guys test it out, let us know in the comments if you're able to call your mommies (or not). [GBAtemp via digg]

Cisco's HD Video Conferencing Impresses Robert Scoble

Retailing at $80,000 for one screen and $300,000 for three screens, Cisco's telepresence technology simulates the act of actually being there, which is way better than traditional teleconferencing. The whole setup is backed by a supercomputer, three plasma screens with 1080p/30FPS video, and is SIP based, running over an IP network. You can fit two life sized Robert Scobles on each screen, plus Cisco comes and installs it for you. More »

UTStarcom F3000 WiFi VoIP Phone Works With SIP, Not Skype

The UTStarcom F3000 WiFi Phone doesn't work on Skype, but it does the next best thing, SIP. It supports SDP, RTP/RTCP, RFC2833/inband DTMF, and supports the G.711 and G.729 codecs. Both these codecs are higher quality codecs than standard landline phones, which means there's actually a benefit in using VoIP other than for the cost. More »

3Com 3108 Wireless VoIP Phone Does SIP Not Skype, Clears FCC

This Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) compatible VoIP phone from 3Com is probably not targeted toward a mainstream audience. Sure, SIP is the de-facto open source VoIP protocol used in VoIP projects like Asterisk, but how many "regular people" do you know are willing to go and set up an Asterisk system in their house? Sure, I've done it, but I'm no regular person—so the answer to that question is probably zero. More »

Flashphone Mplat F4K - VoIP On A Stick

An upgrade of their FlashPhone Mplat F2K, the FlashPhone Mplat F4K carries Skype and SIP phone software in its 128MB flash memory. How it works: plug this into a PC, say your own PC or one at an internet cafe, then launch the Skype software and hook up your bluetooth headset. Then, the FlashPhone is ready to make calls while keeping all the call history and login information on the disk, so that your call logs aren't exposed onto the computer you're using. More »
