VoIP & MSN on the iPhone!

Chris Maddern — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 20:31:27 +0000

What a great time to be getting on board… my new iPhone is ordered and will arrive on Monday. I can’t wait… and now I can’t wait *even* more. My one hold-back was no native solution for MSN chatting and VoIP was something that seemed as obvious a service to feature on a 600MHz processor-wielding phone as there is!

Now, on the very day that I ordered; this appears to solve all our VoIP and IM woes. I’ll be sure to post a review of that and other things iPhone some time after Tuesday when the initial excitement decays.
