Skype for Palm
For more than them despite the mobile operators, the future of voice communications passing through the use of wireless technologies such as WiFi and WiMax, combined with systems Voice over IP (VoIP) services like Skype, Gizmo or Google Talk , In which the only cost is that of data transmitted. Finally, this technology is available for Palm OS devices, thanks to MobiVoIP.
VoIP Telephony for our Palm
In PDAMexico have tested this program, and the verdict is positive:
The service mobiVoIP is divided into 2 parts, free accounts only allow you to make calls to users mobiVoIP and accounts payable that let you make long distance calls using mobiVoIP servers to connect to the POTS (Plain Old Telephone Systems or rather the phone lines that we all know). The accounts' Beta Test '(as far as I know) just let you make calls to' echo server 'which allows you to test the service, quality and speed of the call for sending the voice' echo server 'forwards so that the user can listen and verify the time lag in sending and receiving voice.
[...] I made several calls and the service is quite good to be testing, has its obvious lapses of 1 or 2 seconds to create a connection between users but we are talking about PDAs and also relies heavily on the connection speed with which have the two sides.
Low QoS tells us that we have little ancho de banda order to complete calls. Although the images are shown Treos, none of the calls used airtime or use of any telephone operator with whom have these devices.
The best thing about this is that you do not need a Treo to connect to the Internet but you can use a variety of Palm PDAs to use the service as may be a Tungsten C, Tungsten T3, Life Drive, or Tungsten T5 a Tungsten TX.
MobiVoIP can work with Bluetooth connection, wifi or EVDO. The only problem is that to make free calls, the person you call must also have MobiVoIP installed, but many people use other programs such as voice over IP already commented at the beginning. The solution seems to be on the way: the blog TamsPalm can read how the company EQO plans to develop a transport agent for Skype for Palm devices. This is what makes agent as an intermediary between the program and the Skype network. EQO has already developed other similar agents for Windows Mobile and J2ME (Java virtual machine), so the rumor has a good chance of being true. We can keep abreast of development of this project Subscribe here, and the list of devices supported us informed of the progress being produced.
EQO our PDA connects with the Skype network
So in summary, in a short time: if you have a Palm with microphone and an Internet connection, you free voice calls to Skype users and MobiVoIP, and calls at very low prices with traditional telephones.

Hello.
I downloaded the beta version, but I have not been able to test it for speaking on the home page MobiVOip… imagine to be a matter of time as you say that can be applied operationally.
Greetings
Nooo .. because they have deleted the microphone in the latest versions of palm? Some microphones may be using bluetooth?
For the Tungsten C exists an adapter that adds the ability to record audio. For other models I'm not sure.
