iPhone SDK updated: VoIP over 3G now permitted

If you are communicative, easy-going and sociable person, if you like to discuss the latest events with friends, if you have so many friends all over the world, you need not expensive means of communication. http://www.voip-catalog.com/ Voip providers. We propose you the VoIP catalog owing which you can be closer to the friends. Just imagine the call duration and calculate the bill for talks.

Why is anyone going around talking about holding the damned thing up to your ear? It supports Bluetooth, so you use a headset just like everyone else.

I really think this is the bigger announcement from yesterday's event than the iPad itself. Not only is this big for the iPad, but for existing iPhones and iTouches as well.

This is all grand in principle but - and i'm talking more iphone than iad here - until there is proper multitasking its a pretty moot point. Skype with push notifications would be a start i guess...

The networks are notorious for blocking anything that smells of free or low-cost calls. In the UK, Orange never charged for 0800 numbers until they caught-on that people were using 0800 services to make cheap calls using pre-pay cards. Now, every time you place a 0800 call through the Orange network, you get a warning which says you *may* be charged for the call, but doesn't tell you at what rate per minute.

I just wonder if the networks have now developed some tech to block VOIP, so the responsibility rests with the networks and not Apple?

Can I haz VoIP on iPhone 2G with EDGE ??

@Harkonian - PA Semi never offered an ARM core so technically this is an Apple design, not a PA Semi carry-over. PA Semi only offered PowerPC based designs.

Seriously? WOW. I may end up not buying a new iPhone after all.....Might end up buying some craptacular cell, then using google voice to manage incoming calls (between ipad and craptacular cell), and then place outgoing on whichever is convenient (using some network to landline solution on the iPad).

Probably would cost the same as I'm spending now, and i'd have a whole lot of convenience and freedom!

this is THE device for expanding the market... it works like the nintendo wii..
bringing new users in the game... it's apple's own trojan horse..
1) is the perfect machine for internet newbies.. my mother will LOVE it... no viruses no stupid flash ads and you can reset all with a restart.. no troubles all around
2) what an experiment for apple... to make their OWN chipset.. this is the best machine they ever made.. it has their cpu and gpu it's a FULL apple product.. intel and samsung are crying now.. let's hope that in the future we will see the cpu inside the iphone and macs
3)its the perfect book reader for this reason they used a 4:3 screen.. netbooks had 1024x600 believe me the 128 pixels in the ipad make a difference in reading
4)its NOT a computer.. its aa ebook media touchscreen device.. the competition still makes computers with touchscreens.... they make NOTHING new.. this is something that we see first time..
5)its target group is NOT YOU! they are not targetting to geeks or lousy pc users nor mac experts..
its a device for newcomers in technology..
6)its better that it doesnt have cameras and shits like that it would make it cost higher! 499 it's an ACE price and believe me the competition now are in MAJOR TROUBLE...

this machine is a gift from steve to all the people that would like to join the web revolution but they were afraid to try.. this is the ipad

Regardless of the 3G VOIP restriction being lifted; combine the iPad with the $15 monthly 250 megabyte 3G plan, GoogleVoice and a bluetooth headset, and you have a killer unlimited cell type voice/sms plan that the cellphone carriers can't match.
