Voip?

Looks like the PSP is getting this, and it's also happening for the DS through a legit company as opposed to hacking it. Any chance for this to happen for the Pandora? And would we be able to receive calls?

I guess OpenWengo could be ported without too much trouble (but I'm guessing). Mostly not a chance to get skype.

I don't want Skype - I want Gizmo Project.

Gizmo Project + Grand Central + WiFi = Free calling, in and out bound.

I think Gizmo is closed source, which means that without their participation you're not getting it.

Yeah, it looks like you are right about that. I just knew I could use it on my N800. So maybe if someone does port Maemo (which *is* open source) over to the Pandora, then it could work.

PSP already has skype, but it requires the PSP Remote control, a Mic that will plug into that, and a memory card with sufficient space.

Pandora has Wifi + Mic built in, so yes, voip is possible.

This would presume that you're going to have the Maemo versions work in lock-step, which may/may not happen. Having said this, Gizmo's intrinsically GAIM with SIP bolted onto it. There's other answers and you can even make them all work nicely with the Gizmo Project server farm (Since it started out as SIPPhone anyhow...)

For example:

minisip
linphone
SipCommunicator (Note: Java req'd...)

Are all open source SIP apps that will work directly with things over at the Gizmo Project in an open manner- and there's more than just that available...

I also want Gizmo Project, since you can get free inbound and outbound calls to most cell-phones now using Backdoor Calling. Perfect cell-phone alternative if you are just calling friends and family.

 

[sindbad]

If it's plain SIP, it's quite possible. I should try gizmo, it sounds nice.

Gizmo Porject sounds great for when I am in the Army. Anyway it could be ported? Could the developers do it?
