There is no other integration.</p> <p>The UI injection is fragile. It does not work with the new version of Google Talk.</p> TalQer injects its UI into Google Talk like a parasite.

The UI injection is fragile. It does not work with the new version of Google Talk.

That is further at discount of 33% of current talqer pstn-out rates to US.</p> I am not sure whether you are aware of an open source project called Gizmoproject, which basically offers pstn-out calling at 1c/min to US numbers.

They will be inserted in collaboration, conferencing, handsets, etc. They have all the end-user functionality and voip technology that can easily be re-used in vendors' applications and systems. Why recreate the wheel? Make a better chassis and screw the wheel on. BTW, I absolutely love the Yahoo! client. I listen to the music all day and make a call now and then. :)</p> <p>The other area is the enterprise market. It requires extra security, PBX features, server directory, etc. Currently Microsoft and IBM have advantages, with IBM to an early start with Lotus Sametime. IBM has began interop with Yahoo, Google, and AOL IM's (but not MS :). Microsoft has their Communicator client. New Heights is an outside competitor with inroads to carriers, amongst others.</p> Sachin, I believe we may see YMAGS as future clients in much of the next gen public telephone system.

In an analogy to vendor independent email:
Client (Outlook, Thunderbird) -> Provider (Yahoo, Hotmail)

VoIP could have:
Client (AIM, MSN, Skype, Yahoo, GTalk…) -> PSTN Provider (Big or small: TalQer or Skype)… independent of each other, and all running on vendor independent SIP for the VoIP part of it.

Does this makes sense? What do you guys think?
