Truphone and the iPhone SDK

Truphone today welcomed Apple's launch of the SDK for the iPhone, and in particular comments made by Steve Jobs regarding VoIP applications.

Truphone's engineering department will be examining the SDK to see how it can help with the development of a Truphone client for the iPhone.

However - and not unlike Apple's own approach to announcing products - there will be no further announcements regarding Truphone on the iPhone until such time as a consumer-ready application is available.


"We've already had a number of enquiries since the SDK was announced, because we were the first company to publicly demonstrate VoIP on the iPhone," said James Tagg, Truphone's CEO. "And our response today is that, clearly, we'll be studying the SDK and investigating the obvious opportunities it brings."


Truphone was the first company in the world to demonstrate a prototype VoIP client on the iPhone, at
DEMOfall07, last October.
