How to create phone calls on your Apple iPad

As the iPad was 1st unveiled back in January, a lot of detractor have complained that the much-hyped tablet device is really just an oversized iPhone, without the iPhone part.

Stephen Colbert so astutely noted, "If you've got an iPhone by now, the iPad will be very recognizable to you. The same touch screen technology. The same applications and just like the iPhone, you can't make calls with it."

Ha! really, scratch that last part. This week, a company called Truphone has released an iPad app which basically allows iPad owner to wield their gadget like a giant iPhone. Truphone is a VoIP application. similar to Skype, it harnesses the power of the Web to go around traditional phone lines.

According to Truphone, everyone calls to other Truphone, Skype, or Google Talk users be free; you pay a really low rate to call a landline otherwise mobile phone - five cents per minute in the US, less if you sign up for a monthly plan. The iPad version of Truphone - the app is also obtainable on the iPhone - uses the built-in speaker and mic on the iPad to relay calls.

But let's face it, folks: by the Apple iPad like an Apple iPhone is jump to look really, really silly. The tablet device, for one, measures some 9 inches by 7 inches. It's large, it's important, and no one wants to hold that thing up to their head. Over at TechCrunch, John Biggs films himself by the Truphone, and admit that it all makes for "the most ridiculous talking knowledge you’ve ever seen."

VoIP subscriptions top the 100 million mark

The number of VoIP subscriptions worldwide peaked 100 million for the first time late last year, according to research house Point Topic, representing 15% development over the first three calendar quarters of 2009.

The figures also showed that in terms of entire subscribers, the UK still had some catching up to do, beaten by the other six G7 economies, as well as China and South Korea. While in terms of whole subscribers, the US was out in front, but proportionally, the French came in top with 38% of all fixed lines delivered over IP phones.

Point Topic senior analyst John Bosnell said that "an enthusiastic set of suppliers, cost effective bundles, suitable regulations and a developing infrastructure," had promoted the French VoIP market.

Bosnell suggested that these lessons could be applied to other markets, including the UK, to speed up adoption.

Softclient services such as those offered by Skype were not included in the study, but are also seeing major growth. Skype logged 27.7 billion PC to PC minutes in Q3, in addition to 3.1 billion minutes between PCs and conventional phones.

In Feb 2009, Pena was indicted for conspiracy to secretly hack into the computer networks of unsuspecting VoIP phone service providers; conspiracy to commit wire fraud by transmitting telephone calls over the victims’ networks; and individual hacking and wire fraud counts.

At his plea hearing, Pena, who purported to be a legitimate wholesaler of these Internet-based phone services, confessed that he sold discounted service plans to his unsuspecting customers. Pena confessed that he was able to offer such low prices because he would secretly hack into the computer networks of unsuspecting VoIP providers, including one Newark-based company, to route his customers’ calls.
