Apple isn't much into development cause they don't want to get caught in the trap that microsoft is in. They don't want a bunch of 3rd party software modifying and running things on their crap that will screw it up. -jared b.

You could start a service like this for like 5k with a bunch of vonage numbers. It's like 10 bucks a month per extra line. That's really cheap. I don't think a lot of people will like that extra step of dialing the extension though.

Voice/Video eventually will be a must have. Get that camera reversed on the iPhone and push iChat and we've got a knock out on 3G.
