Linphone is now available as an Android application !

We are pleased to annouce that we have just released a linphone version for Google Android phones.

This application is available for free through the Google Market for all people having an Android phone. It is possible to use linphone on android to make VoIP calls using wifi or 3G (make sure it is allowed by your operator before).

This application is of course built over our liblinphone VoIP library that has been added with a JNI glue and Java API since Android is a java based.

This is the first release of linphone on android, and we wish to continue the development in the coming year to bring many improvements, including:

run as a service to allow to receive calls all the time (not just when the application is showed)
video support
optimize battery savings
