myiphone.com— According to JAJAH you will be able to make VOIP calls from the iPhone with no additional downloads, installation, or contract. But what does Apple have to say about it?

Nothing screams innovative like spending 600 dollars on a cell phone to save a few pennies on a few phone calls.... when you happen to be in a wifi area.
that literally made me LOL.i could just picture some kid on campus telling me all of this in some douchey fanboy tone, under the assumtion that they know all this stuff everyone else doesnt already know and desperately dont understand why everyone else isnt buying into the hype
Dude, we essentially say the same thing, but I get digged down, and you get digged up. Don't tell me that windows fanbois are controlling Digg, or that Mac lovers need to feel persecuted. I don't personnaly care, I use a iBook, Ubuntu on my main machine and WinXP tablet edition on my tablet pc (only because no Lunix distro support tablets) but the Mac fan base on Digg is way stronger than the Window one, and its probably due to all the Mac communities leaking out here. There is no "pc" communities per say.
How is it non-news, when it points out you can do something (VOIP calls) that lots of people have been screaming because they cannot install software to do?Furthermore this is actually a little more useful for cell phone owners because if you are in an area where you can only get low data rates, then VOIP still works whereas someone with a "better" phone that let them install a VOIP client would be out of luck.Money saved is money saved, who cares if it was saved through installing an app on your phone or not?This brings up a point I've been saying since the iPhone was first announced, having a real browser goes a long way towards being able to do things that traditionally you would have had to install third party apps for. Thus it makes lots of sense to support a data network standard - Edge - that has a far wider distribution than 3G. Low connectivity beats no connectivity.
@superkendall: got some facts to back that up with?WiMax is dead because... Ohh that's right because Qualcomm says it is.And while 802.20 will surplant 802.16e, that doesn't mean we'll never have mobile wireless broadband.
@ airiox"I don't see the point in this? Apple is NOT selling their phones to anyone that doesn't sign up for a 2 year service plan. So why would anyone use VOIP?"You need to understand what Jajah is. The call does not terminate to IP which is why the call is NOT VoIP. Both the caller and receiver are terminated in TDM (fixed line or mobile) so it's just like a regular call via telephone/mobile line. What Jajah does is it allows the use of traditional phone/mobile to place a call, they will handle the connection between the telephone carriers of your phone and the person you are calling. That connection is over IP...hence you are saving or free calls (if both numbers are registered) on long distance calls. Relating to iPhone or any mobile phone, you will pay for the call as it will be treated as a local call, but what you will save is on long distance calls (free or lower rates).

Sorry to be the one to tell you, but WiMax will never "arrive" - it is dead on the vine.
