WengoPhone new open-source soft phone

announced WengoPhone, an open source alternative to .and Google Talk. And no, this is NOT the open-source softphone I predicted last week and asked blog readers to guess the company planning to launch an open-source softphone.

From their website:

Wengo is a European company backed by a major telecom player, totally commited to providing you with the most open platform for IP telephony, video conferencing, and more. Feel the love!

World, say Hello to OpenWengo!

It's a bit early for me to judge the WengoPhone, but WengoPhone has some interesting features including chat, SIP support, send SMS, video, and best of all it's open source. Gotta love that! Still, the softphone market is becoming mighty crowded. If all the non-Skype softphones (Google Talk, Earthlink Vling, Xten, WengoPhone etc.) join forces and allow SIP calls to each other then Skype might be in trouble. But if each softphone client is its own "silo" only allowing calls to its internal list of users then Skype will be the leader for the foreseeable future. My advice - federate with other SIP softphones, use the SIP standard and then watch the softphone market explode!

Can I use this WengoPhone for our local Asterisk network?
I didn't get any setting for this. Please give suggestion.

Maybe this is the tool that I've been looking for to communicate cost effectively with my overseas clients. Let me check it out!
