Nokia 770 tablet gains commercial VoIP softphone

The Gizmo Project has ported its VoIP (voice-over-IP) softphone to Nokia's 770 Internet Tablet. Gizmo's free features include calls with other SIP-phone users, voicemail, and conference calls. Paid features include "call outs" to non-SIP-based phones, and a 10-digit U.S. phone number, to support incoming calls.

 

The Gizmo Project creates software that relies on VoIP services provided by SIPphone.com, a VoIP startup founded by Michael Robertson, who previously founded MP3.com, Linspire, and MP3tunes.com. SIPphone services include a PSTN (public switched telephone network) gateway, provisioning, voicemail, and so on.

The Gizmo softphone supports Nokia's Tablet OS 2006 firmware release for the 770, which added echo concellation and other audio enhancements for VoIP ported to the 770's Linux-based OS from Nokia's proprietary phone OS.
