Michael Robertson Unveils SIPphone

Posted by simoniker on from the is-it-hot-or-not? dept.

JimCricket writes "After almost a year of preparation, the person behind MP3.com and Lindows has unveiled his latest venture: SIPphone. According to a CNET article, the new company sells VoIP-based telephones. I wonder what kind of latency you get with these devices." Interestingly, the CNET article reveals the telephones "...can only call other phones that use the same technology."

    "a fully digital system would mean an end to those crackly phone calls and slow connections."

    And a replacement of packet loss... no crackling, just sweet silence. sometimes interrupted with a few clicks and pops that are around the same freq. as your friends' voice.

    I have a digital cell (as do most) and if you've got a bad connection (because you live in a downstairs room), then you still can't make heads nor tails of the conversation
