After Silverlight 4 release for developers we are working on proof of concept - Silverlight version of Flaphone. Will post there as soon as we got something to test.
Hello. As you maybe now Google released first ChromeOS version yesterday. We have tested it and found that Flash Player 10.0.32.18 has been built-in. And yes, that means that Flaphone works in ChromeOS, so we already have VoIP client available for new OS! I remind you that you can use Flaphone to make VoIP calls to PSTN/Mobiles using any SIP provider you want, make calls to Skype or SIP, callme widgets will also work in ChromeOS. Great news!
First of all, it was fully rewritten without usage of Flex framework and now size of the widget is only 100Kb (compare with 383Kb of the previous version). Some bugs were fixed and new microphone selection panel was added, you can see it on the image:
In the near future we are going to add some new features to solve echo problem (because Adobe isn’t going to solve it in player itself).
CallMe widget was updated, we added some useful features. Now you can’t make a call without microphone, widget is using some smart system to check if you have microphone and if it works. If there is no signal coming from microphone it will show you the message:
Flaphone service was updated today (14.08.2009), because we updated our server’s software. We’ve fixed some bugs and added some new features our users asked us about: callhistory can be managed , call length timer. Now we are testing new version of our server, which is more powerful and stable, but as it’s new we still expecting some issues during the next week, please be patient if flaphone doesn’t work and send email with details to info@flaphone.com . We apologize, but because of new callhistory storage system you won’t find your old calls in callhistory.
Flaphone webservice was updated today and we are glad to present some new features for our users. Now we got more than 110K registered users and we hope that they will like our update. We’ve added themes support, so you now can choose between Black and White themes, in the future we will add additional themes, maybe users will provide us with some new ideas about colors, icons, etc. It’s always better when you have the choice I like White even more than Black… Ok, the next improvement is more advanced instant messaging system with styles and smiles, most people like to see smiles as images To improve usability we added number type called “flaphone”, if you want to add another flaphone user to contact list - you need to use this type for now. And the most interesting feature of the release is File Transfer support. Now you can send files to each other if both have flash player 10 installed! For testing purposes file size is restricted for now (you can transfer files up to 5 MB), but later when we add P2P support we will remove the restriction. . It’s all for now, stay tuned and you will see new interesting features in the fututre.
Now every flaphone user can make a call from flaphone to skype. You need to enter sip:skypeusername@skype (Example - you need to call skype user with username james - it will be sip:james@skype) while none(global) account selected for outgoing SIP calls and press the call button, skype user with skype_username will see incoming call from Flaphone. You can also use this feature for your CallMe widgets in the same way. We are testing this feature, so we need to have your feedback.
P.S. It will work if you are calling to Skype user who allows to receive incoming calls from skype users that aren’t in contact-list
