iPhone vs gPhone will lead us to iGPhone

Source: snapvoip.blogspot.com

Update: It has already been invented, I meant the iGPhone! See below for the Photo and connection! PS watch out for lead paint.

Even though the gPhone is yet to emerge, discussions about security and other aspects of the phones.
Some are concerned about openness of gPhone without realizing the roots of MAC OX X and that the code is somewhat open!;
"As the first major computer company to make Open Source development a key part of its ongoing software strategy, Apple remains committed to the Open Source development model. Major components of Mac OS X, including the UNIX-based core, are made available under Apple’s Open Source license, allowing developers and students to view source code, learn from it and submit suggestions and modifications. In addition, Apple uses software created by the Open Source community, such as the HTML rendering engine for Safari, and returns its enhancements to the community."
According to Apple itself.
So the pundits, change the course, find some thing else to argue about and attract media attention. Because Open Source vs Closed Source does not work here.
Penny for a thoughts; Apple iPhone operates in a root environment (with admin rights, to Microsoft people) and I am almost ready to bet my bad writing on gPhone will run with root permissions! ;).
So there goes iPhone could join the " Open Handset Alliance " (gPhone) or create iGPhone (i God Phone) doing away with Jesus Phone.
News com discuss the issue. http://igphone.zhongsou.com/igphone/register.jsp

Attractel has released two versions of Zoiper IAX and SIP softphone: Zoiper 2.0 for Linux and Zoiper 2.0 for Mac Os X. (There is also Zoiper 2.0 for Windows.). These are all free versions. In addition to free versions, there is also a BIZ version available as well. The BIZ version has more options and you can compare those here.

Apple’s iPhone iTV (AppleTV), finally comes.

Source: snapvoip.blogspot.com

After announcing dropping of "Computer" from Apple computer Inc, which is now only called Apple Inc (Will there be another Beetles lawsuit?), Steve Jobs unveiled Apples new phone and the AppleTV.
The Apple phone, which I liked instantly, is slightly larger than your average phone, but comes with a 3.5" touchscreen that covers the majority of the front plate of the device. At 11.6 mm, it is not the thinnest phone out there, but it is thin enough to be able to escape the definition of being bulky. Standard equipment include 4 GB or 8 GB of flash memory storage, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity, a web browser, push email (with Yahoo email). Instead of relying on other software companies, Apple decided to use Mac OS X as operating system for the iPhone, which will be available in a quad-band GSM/EDGE version from Cingular Wireless.

Pricing for the phone is set a $500 for the 4 GB version and $600 for the 8 GB model. It will be available in the U.S. beginning in June of this year.

But while the touch-screen device looks truly gorgeous, sporting just two buttons and a 3.5-inch screen, it does seem awfully ambitious — even for Apple. Jobs hopes to sell 10 million iPhones, which would give Apple 1% of the global mobile phone market share, in 2008.
The iTV, now called the AppleTV, connects directly to iTunes and can stream content to up to five different Macs or PCs. It comes with what we would consider a smallish 40 GB hard drive and includes 802.11 b/g/draft-n wireless capability. It delivers video content in 720p - which means that storing content on that tiny hard drive may turn out to be a challenge. But then, the AppleTV is reasonably priced at $300.
