sipgate Launches Mobile VoIP App For iPhone

This morning, San Francisco based sipgate Inc launched a Mobile VoIP application for the iPhone. The application, which allows you to utilize the sipgate Mobile VoIP application on the iPhone to make calls through sipgate or your favorite SIP based VoIP service provider. There is only one catch here; one must have the BSD Subsystem installed on their iPhone in order to install the application. This means you must jailbreak your iPhone, which voids the warranty and can cause the phone to “brick” should you try to update it.

Although sipgate is excited about there application, it is “too little, too late.” With the pending launch of the Apple App Store Monday, the availability of mobile VoIP iPhone applications such as the RF Dialer and various Mobile VoIP providers hinting at the release of iPhone applications, offering a “jailbreak only” application this late in the game might but them at a disadvantage when it comes to competing for mind share.

Since I don’t have a “cracked” iPhone, I was unable to fully review this application, however, if they do come out with a Mobile VoIP application for a legit iPhone, I will most certainly test it out and let you know what I find.
