Apple Okays VoIP over Wi-Fi for iPhone

Apple Okays VoIP over Wi-Fi for iPhone

Apple announced recently that it would not block third party developers from creating VoIP over Wi-Fi solutions on the iPhone and iPod Touch. However, they noted that the solutions have to work over Wi-Fi and not through the cellular network. This may make sense to VoIP developers anyway because the bandwidth limitations of the cell network make it difficult to develop VoIP on that platform. One company that has made some progress in VoIP development for the iPhone is SightSpeed. They don't have something to offer just yet, though. They are currently facing difficulties because they are a video chat service, not just a voice service, and they have found that the placement of the camera on the iPhone hinders their engineers from full development of their application. They’re working on that issue and hoping to be one of the third party developers that sees success in moving their VoIP offerings to the iPhone.
