VoIP app for iPhone prompts fan-site controversy
A glimmer of hope for those iPhone owners who want a SIP-compatible VoIP client for their cellphones, as a collaboration between iPod Touch fan-site Touchmods.net and French ADSL ISP Free.fr results in a software client that allows their subscribers to make free phonecalls via their Apple device. Called Siphon, the app is currently locked to the Free.fr network (the ISP ‘paid’ Touchmods to develop the software by donating an iPhone to them) but apparently a commercial release that will operate with multiple SIP providers is set to launch at an unspecified point in the future.
