VOIP Call on a MID From Intel

- Matt Faulkner

Engadget has some information (even a video posted below) on a MID placing a rock-solid VOIP call.  And amazingly enough - they crashed the OS while on the call...  I am still waiting for these things to be released.  I really want to see if they fit in my lifestyle, or if it would be something like the N800 that I only use when I am doing some surfing... 

It's makes one think (like was said in the post) - when will we say good bye to cell phones and carriers and move to a VOIP only type of communication - I think that's one for Warner to expand on...  Check out the video to see the rest

This MID looks like a device I would use. I can't wait to see what becomes of this thing.

They must be using Ubuntu Mobile. Is that correct?

SO... you can crash Lunix and the call continues?
Why is that a feature? (aside from the ability to crash Linux)

I can think of one application of the top of my head: help desk.
But then how can you start the call when the system is already crashed?
