TruPhone demonstrates VoIP-over-WiFi on iPhone

iPhoneTruPhone, the UK-based creator of VoIP least-cost routing tools for cell phones, is demonstrating the first implementation of VoIP calling over WiFi on Apple's iPhone. The demonstration is occuring at DEMOFall in San Diego.

UPDATE: Andy Abramson has video of TruPhone running on the iPhone.
