Yep this is exactly what I want from Asterisk. The whole reason I'm involved with Mexuar and it's click to call technology http://www.mexuar.com/products_sdk.shtml is because now an Asterisk System Integrator can to go to their client look them straight in the eye and say I have something that I have something no one else from Cisco, Nortel, NEC etc can deliver. With Asterisk we have the ability to implement functions that no proprietary vendor can compete with. Ok so some of the earlier ones like "the weather - ftp to text to speech application" were a little rinky dink (I really wish someone would implement more variations of this!!) and the "Bluetooth follow me" function might have been a little difficult to implement company wide. But with some of the "PABX 2.0" applications that are coming like Iotum and Lumen-vox (though I'd really love to see a sip pay-per-minute gateway like I was suggesting 18 months ago http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Tellme) there are real application advantages of selling Asterisk over a Cisco. I've said it before and I'll say it again, the day an Asterisk reseller wins a deal at $50,000 against a Cisco at $50,000 is the day that I know Asterisk has finally come of age.
