Duane: With regards to your statement: " Don't think so tim, at least not the line of thinking your following because you're basing your logic on the assumption that the iPhone runs OSX and from what I've read it doesn't."
Very True! I'm basing my assumptions that iPhone runs on OS X because it does. Please read: http://www.apple.com/iphone/specs.html Directly from Apple, clearly states it runs on OS X. I'd like to know where you read that it doesn't run OS X. I base my logic from specs posted by the manufacturers and from other people's experience (where I've not had the privilege to base the logic on my experience). Only a matter of time before someone gets Asterisk running on an iPhone, similar to how the wizards did to the Linksys router. This logic is based on people I know who have actively ported Asterisk on their Mac OS X. So "theoretically" if the device runs on OS X and is networkable (WiFi or BlueTooth)... I see no reason why it couldn't be an Asterisk in the palm of your hands. Cheers!

If only the world worked like that :) Just because a company doesn't enforce contracts from day 1, doesn't mean they can't at some point in future. I'm assuming if they get you to sign a contract when buying the phone they at smart enough to get some sort of photo ID (maybe I'm giving apple too much credit), which can be leveraged at some point in future for what ever reason. Although I wonder how this would go with some consumer laws (obviously first sale doctrine doesn't apply, but I'm not that familiar with US laws). > There is more than what meets they eye here in terms of legality and as > impressive as OS X is... and as impressive as how some people have ported > Asterisk to OS X -- simply tells me you can LITERALLY RUN Asterisk on the > iPhone (theoretically speaking). Don't think so tim, at least not the line of thinking your following because you're basing your logic on the assumption that the iPhone runs OSX and from what I've read it doesn't. That doesn't exactly mean it won't run Asterisk, but then again why would you want to, just get a SIP client with all the features you want, Asterisk has too much bloat. > The concept here which has truly turned me on is: SIP Client, OS X, GSM > QUAD Band Cell Phone, and Asterisk Server... all in the palm of your > hand!!! Now that's dynamite! There are other quad band phones that have SIP clients, in fact Telstra in Australia was selling one for their new network, now that phone supposedly doesn't work with their network ;) Trying to find the link, but it was a Samsung I think. -- Best regards, Duane http://www.freeauth.org - Enterprise Two Factor Authentication http://www.nodedb.com - Think globally, network locally http://www.sydneywireless.com - Telecommunications Freedom http://e164.org - Because e164.arpa is a tax on VoIP "In the long run the pessimist may be proved right, but the optimist has a better time on the trip." --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
