Gizmoproject released version 3.0 of their popular voip client and it brings some interesting new features. Support for Jabber has been extended and now allows us to exchange files via the jabber protocol. You now can call to users of Windows Live Messenger and Yahoo messenger, and soon Gtalk will be added too. Next to custom avatars and group chat, this is an interesting update!

A little less enthusiastic about the new Gizmo. The thing keeps on crashing on startup. Back to version 1.3…
Update! I did a full uninstall of 1.3, downloaden 2.0 again and logged in with my existing username and password. Now it is working!

I really think this is great news. The really great alternative to Skype, Gizmo Project has released a new version of their softphone. It has version 2.0 and comes with support for the Asterisk PBX! It lets you log in to your gizmo-account and simultaneously to another SIP based server. (Not only Asterisk, but also switchvox, epygi and others). This might be a killer feature! Thanks Gizmo!

Take the famous X-lite, rebrand it with Vonage stuff and you’ve got a Vonage softphone. Put it on a USB stick, tell customers that now they can take their softphone everywhere and make it to Gizmodo’s weblog. Why is this so special? Would it be an integrated usb stick and soundcard (to connect your headset to) ,then it might be some news.
However, a portable version of some SIP client isn’t such a bad idea. Anyone has some recommendations of good clients?

Gizmo Project, one of my favorite alternatives to Skype, now offers Call In numbers in three new countries: France, Spain and the UK. By using a Call In number (also known as DID number) everyone will be able to reach you by dialing a local area number, even if that´s not where you are located.
Buying a Call In number is not very cheap (it´s rather expensive if you ask me!). It will cost you $35,- a year. It might be a good idea to consider alternatives that offer DID for a much lower (or free) price. Sipgate offers free DID for the UK and Germany, Voipbuster for many others.
