  • cgruber, on 10/10/2007, -3/+30And every 20 minutes a kitten pops out!
  • DragonQuester, on 10/10/2007, -5/+29IT ALSO PRINTS MONEY!
    This app is totally awesome. But uhhh...has anyone ever heard of SIP?
  • leetleo, on 10/10/2007, -2/+25looks like the iphone has some new competition, lol.
  • nepawoods, on 10/10/2007, -3/+21The Nintendo DS really deserves more attention as a handheld computing platform. (i.e. not just for kids, and not just for games)
  • thethimble, on 10/10/2007, -1/+15...until it hits bittorrent.
  • i208khonsu, on 10/10/2007, -1/+12Still waiting on SkypeDS
  • dualscreenman, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10Godzilla-phone.
  • blahtastic, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8Well...wherever u can get wifi you have a phone. Thats like... at least once a mile in a populated business area. Not too shabby.
  • adamrgolf, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8?
  • MidnightMartin, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6There are detailed instructions on setting up free SIP accounts with a number of sites throughout the post ^_^
  • dualscreenman, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6If the flashcard has a working DLDI patch, then it should.
  • dualscreenman, on 10/10/2007, -2/+7Ah, but with the DS you have a choice whether or not you get those features. You can also get most of the features for less than a PSP would cost you /plus/ you get a ***** of great games.
  • jadenguy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5pocket enhancer?

    like, "is that a ds in your pocket or are you just happy to see me" enhanced?
  • aywwts4, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6Go buy an R4DS and a 1 or 2 gig micro sd card.

    The world of DS homebrew and high seas swashbuckling will open up to you.
  • pabster, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4DS is the *****. I'm waiting for SkypeDS as well. It would be total euphoria.
  • mjl5629, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4I used voipbuster. I got used about 10 calls before the trial period ran out.
  • NSMike, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5There is some truth to your statement, however, regardless of functionality, the real issue is that while the PSP was porting old PS2 games and clinging to UMD's, developers for the DS were popping out awesome title after awesome title.
  • antitab, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Protip: You need a mic to VOIP.
  • kidcodea, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5i use ds with colors and phidias for my web design planning.
    i use ds for games (1400 and counting).
    i use ds for internet acess while on vacations.
    i use ds for mail, irc, web
    i use ds for trackers (alla fastracker) and midi sequencers.
    i use ds as a pocket enhancer.
  • NSMike, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4*Lifts rock*

  • inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3I just need to get the flash reader, then I can also put Scumm on mine...
  • nicklassa, on 10/10/2007, -2/+5SIP = Session Initiation Protocol....its one method for signaling within an IP network
  • dualscreenman, on 10/10/2007, -0/+31721 people reading it and gbatemp's still working for me.

  • maluenvy, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4now, if only they can get this to the iphone...
  • iamchris, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3WoW, I live in SoCal and have been using SIP for over a year now. I thought it was common knowledge. hehe I work for a company the builds Asterisk servers and we use SIP quite a bit.

    But DS using SIP is going to be fun, can't wait to try this out.
  • taintedzodiac, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2This brings back memories of the "Talk-O" and taco talk... i.e. the nGage.
  • achoo5000, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2http://www.voipbuster.com/en/index.html
    this was mentioned in the thread
  • jpinsonault, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Not just the DSLite, but also the normal DS. Who knew? Now if only the touch also had one....
  • Shaflugi, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1.
  • solarix, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I wouldn't recommend buying one from any US online retailer. With the raids that happened a few weeks back, I might be a little concerned about the safety of my personal information and what I purchased. I just find companies from Canada that ship to the US, makes me feel a little bit safer.

    Probably false sense of security, but I guess its better than none.
  • MidnightMartin, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1An awesome video tutorial has been made by one of the forum members (Big Lou) walking you through the process of setting SvSIP up. Thanks Big Lou! ^_^

  • RexMaxus, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2Good luck with that, getting a free SIP account would be like getting free internet, or land line phone service.
  • kidcodea, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1exactly ;)
  • Brick86, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Okay great, now does anyone know how you use it? What extra hardware do I need? How do I set it up?
  • gl77, on 03/31/2008, -0/+1yea sorry, 5 minutes later it worked for me too
  • iofthestorm, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Yeah, I recommend realhotstuff.com for anyone buying from the US, they have great customer support and fast shipping. They replaced my first one that broke in like 4 days. (the spring-loading mechanism for the microSD card in some of them is kind of faulty, but I heard there's a newer revision that doesn't tend to eject your microSD cards at high velocities, which I think I now have.)
  • shinynew, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1please point to the place where they claimed it was completely free.
  • supermanred, on 10/10/2007, -2/+2Wont be long before someone comes out with an addon microphone and app for the Apple iPod touch.

    Do it yourself iPhone, FTW!!!
  • gl77, on 03/31/2008, -2/+2Digg effect in full effect. anyone with a mirror?
  • dsbum, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1Now, where's that idiot who said a Phone-application is the "dumbest thing" he's ever heard.
    Put this on i-touch and we're good to go :D
  • antitab, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1Talking about the iPod Touch, man.
  • jadenguy, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1http://www.sipphone.com/basics/ ??
  • jpinsonault, on 10/10/2007, -1/+0no mic, sorry
