Vonage Softphone for the Palm OS Coming This Year


This news is thanks to 1src.

engadget reports in an interview with Jeffrey Citron, the chairman and CEO of Vonage, that a Palm OS version of their VOIP Softphone software will be released this year.



You already have a softphone for Windows Mobile, where’s the softphone for the Palm OS?

If the Palm OS were a little easier to work with it might be here already.

Is it a problem with PalmSource? Is it palmOne?

The horsepower to do this isn’t there on many of palmOne’s devices. Much of the Palm devices out there don’t have the capabilities that we would need, and the ones that do have the capabilities we need, that’s what we’re focusing in on our efforts.

Any sort of time frame on when we might see a softphone for Palm? This year maybe?

This year. I think there’s a good chance this year you’ll see an expansion of the softphone client. Not just in the area of being able to run on other operating systems, but I think we’re going to continue to invest in additional softphone capabilities from different vendors, so you might actually see another vendor or two make available. Just like consumers have a choice of devices, you’ll also have a choice of software to go along with the services.

I personally use Vonage for my land line telephone service, and I do have to say that the quality is very good and the price cannot be beat for all that you get.
