Andy Abramson First it was Skype, now it’s San Diego’s Viper Networks. Take a gander. Viper has a good story, the question is, who is using the service and how good is it? I like the idea that they want to be the player in the WiFi VoIP market. Their strategy is though rather unclear, other than … Read more
Skype is on a roll with rumours and announcements, with the latest being an account they will have a client for the Palm OS. So while that’s good for Tungsten users, Treo users as far as I know still don’t have Wi-Fi card usage ability. And the Treo is the best and most Swiss Army … Read more

Months back Michael Robertson of SipPhone was trying to venture into this arena and I suspect alternative numbering systems will be coming forth rather soon.
