does anybody knows something about that?
there was on wm6, there is on wm6.5... maybe it will be finally usable on wp7 where hw is more software compliant? may we finally use it, and all other voip sw beeing able to choose wich speaker use? or having the ability to make voip call from contact list simply choosing "make a voipcall" like we make with video call or having a dedicated button in dialpad? why is it so difficult having these simple functions?
Doubt it. Most phones dont because the carriers dont like it. They want all calls/texts to go through them so they make more money!
Its all about money and VOIP isn't good for the manufacture or carriers.
There will be no Voip on the phone to begin with. They are allowed as apps but they won't beable to run in the background with the first release.

Actually, no, they aren't allowed. That is, there's no policy that says no VoIP, but there's no socket support for third parties, so you just can't make a VoIP application.

Chances are that they will wait and see how successful WP7 is before they write an application for it.

Not sure what you mean by most, but Nokia supports VoIP with g729 and LBC on Symbian and Maemo. Now Nokia wants to follow Sylop on WP7 and I feed sad about it.

That doesn't change the fact that the vast majority of carriers today explicitly forbid you from using VoIP and P2P. They are even starting to leverage control of this by limiting your speed to GPRS bandwidth if they see any type of unwanted traffic going thru your handset.
It's not in the best interests of carriers to allow you to use their network, with a flat-rate dataplan, for VoIP as that means they make no money on your calls. I'm betting we will see a similar policy on SMS/MMS in the future as this is definitely their biggest cashcow.

You're saying that you think carriers are going to forbid you to use SMS over the data connection (like Google Voice)? I think not. That's a major selling point of Android currently. They can't be all in with Android and forbid use of Google Voice.
I’m not sure that Voxofon for WP7 is really what I am looking for. The product description in the app marketplace states the following:
- No WiFi required
- Will use plan minutes
- Not suitable for use while traveling and roaming
Wikipedia states the following:
Voxofon has also released an application for Microsoft's Windows Phone 7, however it uses the phone's voice channel, and not VoIP.
It seems like the iPhone and Android users get a supported Skype application. I need some sort of VOiP app that I can use to make calls while connected to WiFi while traveling internationally.
So my question remains, is there, or will there be soon, such an app for us WP7 types?
Thanks,
Dave

There isn't now. I think MS doesn't provide the necessary APIs. Also, there is no multitasking, which eliminates a host of applications and prevents effective VOIP software. Multitasking will come late this year. The necessary APIs for independent VOIP apps like Skype, I'd guess around the same time but it's just a guess, on the basis that VOIP/IM apps are well-known and important to consumers.
Proper integrated (SIP) VOIP? Who knows?
Android has a big lead here, with both integrated SIP and independent support.
Well,
I don’t like the information, but appreciate it nonetheless. As a world-traveler, I need this ability – badly – but for now I think I like this OS well enough to put up with this shortcoming for a spell.
Thanks for your response!
Dave
The VOIP limitation is really based on a lack of socket support. That's going to change with mango if not earlier. There's a rumor that at MIX they'll announce socket support but it's known to be on the short list in any case. This is something MS has been working on. In fact VOIP already has registry entries in current WP7 builds: http://mobilitydigest.com/visual-voicemail-and-voip-for-wp7-confirmed-via-homebrew-registry-viewer/

I doubt you will find it for the same reason PPC Phones can't record calls-
No access the the GSM Voice Stream!
Vito Audio notes records phone calls and its really good at it also so the above statement is false! both out going and incoming also there are a few apps that do this...

I guess "PPC" refers to "pocket pc devices" where as "WM5" or "WM6" devices are now called just that.
Although the OS is essentially the same stuff and the hardware the same kind of architecture, we use "PPC" to describe WM2003SE or below and "WMx" to describe the later devices.
Im just guessing. Therefore PPC devices WOULDNT support GSM stream, but WMx would. Just perception of the acronyms and their differences in real terms i guess.
I hadnt even thought or realised WHEN we decided to seperate "windows mobile devices" and "pocket pcs" out of what each are technically both!
or something.
has anyone used a good freeware "text to speech" app? looks like there's a lot of them to pay for...
Text to speech
Not sure it's exactly what you want, but I've been using this site to convert text to speech for a year or so:

Works well to make notifications for SMS, etc. Just click Play, then save the file in Storage Card/My Documents. Sorted!

Actually I believe they are referring to the difference between PPCs and Smartphones, not specifically regarding OS systems (though they use slightely different operating systems: PPC=WM6 Professional, Smartphone=WM6 Standard). One of the limitations of PPCs is the inaccessibility of the GSM voice stream, a problem that Windows Mobile Smartphones do not have.
I would like some freeware as well
As seen here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=650393 theres a game that people have downloaded that is infected with a trojan that calls out to expensive international numbers at midnight,

You realize of course that your [thread] title doesn't match the contents of the thread at all?
Your title purports to suggest sandboxing and managed code, which are both good ideas, and then in the thread itself you talk about restricting the APIs available on the platform to Silverlight/XNA and restricting distributing to the Marketplace, which is a terrible idea.
"Managed code" -- in case you weren't aware -- is terminology created by Microsoft for code that interacts exclusively with the CLR.
BUT IN CASE YOU DON'T KNOW, P/INVOKE IS PART OF THE CLR, SO "MANAGED CODE" CAN STILL ACCESS NATIVE APIS!
"Sandboxing" can refer to a broad range of concepts, all of which are relatively good ideas (although some are more expensive in terms of overhead than others).
I think the best thing that Microsoft could do to prevent attacks like this -- rather than locking down their whole OS like Apple-wannabes -- is to implement the multi-user paradigm of Windows NT6.x and/or Linux on their phone OS.
See the problem -- as far as I can tell -- is that Windows CE is a single-user operating system. Much like Windows 9.x. Which means that processes only run in one context: Administrator.
So any process that is running on your Windows CE device, has full access and control of the device/operating system. This is why you experience so many lock-ups/crashes on CE-based devices.
In a modern multi-user operating system, processes can run in one of two contexts: User or Administrator. The User context has no access to the system itself -- it is effectively sandboxed. It can still wreak havoc in many ways, but it cannot bring down the operating system because it doesn't have the privledges to access the APIs et cetera that it would need to do so. The Administrator context still exists, and the user chooses to elevate processes there when the need arises -- this is what UAC, runas, su, and sudo are for in Windows/Linux.
These are the devices that should be implemented on a phone OS, not draconian lock-in schemes that turn a phone OS into a phone appliance.
Well, actually making phone calls should never prompt for elevated permissions as far as I am concerned.
In the case mentioned above a game has an add on functionality which doesn't play nice, so even prompting on installation (which WinMo 6.5 does), doesn't help matters.
The CLR incorporates a pretty sophisticated permission management but it's terrible to deal with it, even if as a programmer you know what things are about - pushing it onto the end user of a phone in my opinion would be a pretty bad idea.
Cases like this one are exactlly why the way Microsoft intends to deal with software, is a great idea for a default behavior - although I would like to be able to sideload applications.
But honestly, if people could sideload at all, they would activate it in masses, if even for one dumb farting app, outside the marketplace that everyone thought was cool. I'm not talking about devs or Power Users but about people using Google to find: how to get app xyz working.
Pretty soon a situation would arise like the one we could see some weeks ago, when a virus infested lots of jailbroken iPhones in Australia. The problem was that simply after jail break, most didn't change the administrator password of the phone, allowing telnet connections from the phone network.
I don't like the situation that arises with WP7 and I really hope we will get access to APIs for doing actual phone calls, accessing the PIM data, etc. but yes: sandboxing with reduced permission sets without elevation is the way to go when MS tries to change the way WinMo is perceived by many: unstable and easily compromised.

For sure they will protest and kling-on to the old round dialer disk phones.

It''s about control. As many other said and Microsoft implicated, they need more control over the brand/expierence.
In the early months of 2002 you could take your Compaq Ipaq 3870 and hook it up to a Bluetooth GPS, a Bluetooth Phone with GPRS, and have navigation- and web based realtime GPS Tracking software running at the same time.
That is 7 years back. Making that work took 5 minutes (manually configuring COMport splitter).
I sincelery hope that developers will get access to the system at a level that makes the above possible.

Hello. I am announcing this project here in hope of gathering feedback from the XDA-dev community. A friend of mine and me have been developing this app for a while now, and we think it has reached a point where it is quite usable and presentable. It's still a bit rough around the edges and lacking in advanced features, but we're working to improve it.

wow nice app! Is possible to set host to any www site chat?
If cabbed your app - "Wr4i7t's microIRC Client"
Do you accept donations, cause I have been looking for a program like this. I would love to see it grow.
If this gets blowfish and Linknet/SSL support at some point that would certainly make me donate!
All the existing IRC clients sadly dont seem to want to integrate this library meaning I can never read anything in my channels.
I know this is a first version and these are most likely very advanced requests but if the app is not "built" with this in mind it might not be implementable at a later point.
I have no idea on programming so thats nothing I can help on but I would gladly beta-test any new functions for you.
But for actually starting this project (since all others died) I already have to give you all a big THANKS!!!

This app is an IRC client, so it can only connect to IRC servers. However, in the unlikely case that such a site were to use an IRC backend, you could connect to it.

We'll consider adding that feature in the future. Right now, there are other priorities, since the app is still lacking in some very basic aspects, so it can still be a while before we get to it.

In fact the first IRC klient I have tried, where you can actually join channels/networks of your own pick. It runs smoothly on my HD2.

Opera Mini - absolutely
BTW, InternetExplorer doesn't support my banks online banking
BeejiveIM > Fring and Palringo. Beejive is more apt to use Push Notifications, removing the need to multitask the App, ever... It's expensive, though. I downloaded the Android trial and 2 days later Facebook added chat. Byebye Beejive
There's also WhatsApp.
The first smartphone OS to offer a worthy alternative to Blackberry Messenger will win big, I think
Microsoft said they won't disallow apps that duplicate functionality, but I don't know if they'll allow you to change the default browser.
That would be very bad. Opera Mini is even available on iPhone.

after how many years though?
the reason you won't see opera/firefox/chrome on wp any time soon is due to the restrictions still on the languages. wp uses VB/C#, which does not allow for C++ which a lot of these more complex programs are written in. Though OEMs have capabilities to write native code.
I am pretty satisfied for the most part with the apps on my HD7 but I do want Skydrive integration and limited multitasking for apps like LastFM.
Bing also should be updated to match the superior iPhone app.
Many things have to be improved.
IE is great but lacks support for many features.
I got an app for amazon in "testing" in the marketplace. I can give out the xap if you like it, It's gonna be free anyway.
It has limited functionality at this time, but I'm improving it as I found new things to add.

1. Official Google Voice App - I know it might be a problem to intercept outgoing calls and/or using GV when you tap "Send Text" from the People Hub, but an official app from Google would probably be more fluid than what's available now. GVoice is a good solution for now, but it could use some small improvements. Who better to do that than Google?
2. I know emulators are not allowed, but I'd like to see a homebrew PSX and SNES Emulator. I'd definately pay the developer for it, Paypal maybe since Marketplace won't allow it... that's how it's done for WinMo.
3. BeyondPod

Once you and your friends install the free Viber application, you can use it to talk and also text as much as you want. Just makes sure all your friends get Viber! All you need is an Internet connection: 3G or Wi-Fi where available. On top of that, Viber doesn’t contain any annoying ads.
* NO INTERNATIONAL CHARGES: It doesn’t matter where you or your friends are, be it on the same network or in a totally different country. You can talk for as much as you want, for free. Just make sure your friends have Viber too.
* NO USERNAMES, PASSWORDS OR REGISTRATION: You know your friend’s phone number, so why bother with yet another username and password? Viber uses your phone number as your “identity” and lets you make free Viber phone calls to any of your friends that have Viber – using THEIR phone number.
* NO NEED TO ADD BUDDIES: Unlike applications like Skype, Windows Live Messenger or Fring where you need to “add buddies” and have them approve you, Viber behaves just like a phone. Just like you don't need to “add” someone in order to call them, you don't need to add your friends in order to call them on Viber. If you know their phone number, then you know their Viber number, and you’re ready to go!
* DON’T KILL YOUR VIBER: To make sure you always get incoming calls/messages notifications, we strongly recommend you to keep Viber running in the background. This doesn't drain your battery or use up memory and improves your Viber experience.
* SOUND QUALITY: Viber uses state of the art technology in order to make sure the sound quality you get is much better than GSM or a regular phone call.
* MUCH MORE COMING: We are hard at work bringing many more features to your Viber phone. More ringtones (and custom ones), wallpapers, location based services and more are all coming soon to Viber!

Fantastic! Been waiting for this for a long time!
I can't find it in the Market on my phone. I can see it on the web, but it won't install. Wierd.

I also noticed that. And the funny thing is I saw the app in the Market before they've announced it! I'm even the first one to comment.
In the past few months I've been begging Viber to include me in their beta testers but to no avail.
Finally, my friends with iPhone can no longer say anything about my SGS not having those must have apps!
WhatsApp & Viber on my SGS! Sweeet!
no "exit" function (like skype before modded)
Seems a bit buggy at the moment. Big battery drain since installing and was only able to stop it running by stopping in battery use option in phone settings.
Re-started phone but froze on start-up with app running in background. Pulled battery, it restarted this time so i uninstalled it!

Just install it via the Android Market Web page like I did.
I Swyped this on my Galaxy S
So it only allows you to call other Viber users? Pretty pointless if it's the case.
well almost everyone today has an iphone or android device, so its not that pointless !!
besides free calls and texts is good, Although it needs an internet connection. but if you have mates like mine, who talk for freakin' ages, then this is a must !!
will save me money on my bill anyway

How can it be pointless? Just get all your mates to sign up and you are bound to save money. I call my wife like a million times a month and if i can do that for free its a good enough point for me.

If you have friends and family abroad, it can save you soo much money.
Hey any of you guys having problems with the mic? (other person cannot hear me)
Im running CM7 and dont know if the issue is connected.
Do I post in the CM7 thread about it? Or do I contact Viber Support :|
I've made a thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15821083 but wanna see what ROMs you ppl are running and whether your mic works.
Thanks.

Working good on my SGS. Really good idea for an app.
Although I've had one FC and a curious thing.. When I rebooted my SGS, the app thought I've killed it with some kind of task killer.

Well there are gazillions of VoIP apps available... I don't see the advantage of this particular one. Especially since I would have to beg all my friends to install it before I can call them with it.
It also seem a lot less integrated than some others. Do we really need yet an other proprietary, non-standard, VoIP app?
Tanks for the news
