Vopium has a new iPhone app, ready to compete head to head with other VoIP over WiFi solutions. Their trick seems to be in the familiar, easy to use interface, which almost perfectly mimics iPhone’s Phone app (pictured above) and uses the existing address book. Moreover, in order to entice users to download their application, Vopium is bundling it with 30 minutes of free calls and 30 text messages, which is kinda cool.
Standard VoIP pitch remains unchanged, though – with application like this, you can save up to 90% on traditional international mobile and landline calls. Sending SMS with Vopium is also cheaper, if you’re texting abroad — a single SMS sent costs only 0.09 GBP.
Aside from iPhone, Vopium is available on other platforms, as well — including Java, Symbian, BlackBerry and Windows Mobile. You check their rates from a dedicated page on Vopium’s website. AppStore link is here.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
