Well, today, Hampton Software Limited announced the release of a new Palm VoIP product called Articulation for PalmOS, that supports the SIP standard and therefore works with any VoIP service provider that supports the SIP standard. I should mention that it only works with Palm OS 5. Alas, the software doesn't yet work on the Treo 700p mobile phone, but should work on the Treo 650. It is connectivity-agnostic supporting WiFi, Bluetooth, EVDO, and EDGE/GPRS Internet connectivity.

It isn't the prettiest interface in the world, but hey, if I can get my SIP on, I'm a happy man!
Features:
- Ability to make PSTN calls with your PDA
- Select the SIP VoIP provider of your choice
- Lookup phone numbers direct from you contacts
- Touch-tones (DTMF) for 'phone menus'
- Supports WiFi, Bluetooth and EVDO connections
- Call timer
- Silence suppression (only transmit your voice)
- Echo cancellation for 'speakerphone' use
Technical Features:
- Secure account authentication with SIP MD5 Authentication

Good stuff! You can download and try it out for free. Still wish it supported the Treo 700p though.
