TringMe Develops Its Own Flash Phone
The TringPhone, as it is called, really is more of a technology demonstration than a full-fledged service. TringMe is hoping to license the technology to VOIP providers and help make Web-based telephony as simple as visiting a Web page. It already works with any existing account on a SIP-based phone service, and can be configured for pretty much any VOIP provider. I tried out a demo of the TringPhone, and it completed a call to my U.S. cell phone. Starting later today, the TringPhone should be available on TringMe’s Website.
The startup is also working on a mobile VOIP service that will let you make SIP calls from your phone’s browser over a 3G data network. That one probably won’t be based on Flash.
