The developer is still working out a few lingering issues. I am getting daily updates on it to make sure it's on track to get finished as soon as possible.

Another Android user here. I'd love to see this for Android.

I'm also a web application developer for a university. Lately there's been a lot of push for a "mobile app" for our school, but my team has been less enthusiastic about building something. This is how we see it:

• Building apps means that we can only focus on one platform at a time (our team is only five people)
• Building apps requires us to learn a new SDK (and possibly language) for each platform we embrace.
• Building a mobile-friendly site allows us to target all platforms at once using our existing skill sets
• We can use browser detection, JavaScript, and device-specific style sheets to deliver a mobile site that looks like an app.

We are moving forward on a couple of mobile-friendly sites right now. We figure that, if someone really insists on an app for the school, it will mainly end up being a web browser component set to load a specific mobile site. We feel doing what we know will get us much farther than trying to learn how to develop for every new fad phone that comes along.

That's just my two cents--but I'd really like to see something from Voipo that is Droid-friendly.

Wow, sounds amazing.

I have a Blackberry... hopefully you've got a team member with a Blackberry.

I also think a mobile version of the site would be a great idea. However, I do think that the VPanel control panel needs to become more cohesive before it is "ported" to a mobile site version. -- As I understand it, there are plans to update the VPanel.

So, please consider making a Blackberry version!

Thanks!

Any update on iPhone app?

Tim -

Any timeline that you can provide for an iPhone app? It's somewhat difficult to navigate the full VoIPo.com site on an iPhone via Safari. Is this still in the works or on hold?

Thanks

Tim's post earlier in the thread indicates that the project was canceled and what was produced was unsalvageable and scrapped.

Any more updates coming? I would love to start using the app!

I actually pulled this project. I wasn't really happy with how the development of it was panning out and decided that it was best not to continue at this time.

We may revisit it in the future, but for now it's off the table for now.

Looking at the big picture, I agree with some of the points made in this thread that it may be best to focus on a platform-agnostic mobile site instead of being more scattered with several potential platform specific ones.

We'll re-evaluate in the future and will look at a mobile solution in some form whether it's mobile site or platform-specific applications.
