I used to use AmiPhone quite a lot to talk to a state side Amigan who went by the name of Cyber2th, wonder what happened to him...

Cool stuff. How did it compare a telephone call in terms of audio quality. |

I was on dialup back in the day and the audio quality wasn't too bad. Not quite as good as a normal phone call but perfectly usable. I used my megalo sound sampler and microphone. _________________ Regards Darren 'Ryu' Glenn ---------------------------- www.IntuitionBase.com - Your Guide to Amiga OS4.x and the AmigaOne www.Bambi-Amiga.co.uk - My A1200 webserver, running 24/7/365 |

| In fact, Amiga got an 'iphone' like, before Iphone gone gold (2007 right?).
At that time, there was a Sharp smartphone, coming along with AAnywhere.
That was a working proto....before iphone.... |

Funny nick, it would stand out. Perhaps he changed it and will reappear on the forums.
I also wonder what similar software other computers had. It's not an easy thing to do, as you would have needed a compatible sampler hooked up to the mic I take it, all hooked up and working. |

Well AFAIK there was no AmiSkype back then or even now . And "AmiPhone" contains the string "iPhone". |

| Iphone name isn't property of apple because it is licensed from cisco. They pay a hefty sum to be able to use it.

That is correct. I have a wireless Linksys IPhone which can be used for landline calls and skype calls in one.
When I tried to buy a second one I can't, because it disappeared from the shelves and a little bit later apple iphone is released.
