CounterPath is embracing Apple’s mobile platform with the release of Bria iPhone Edition that in addition to the iPhone, also sings along the iPod Touch and iPad. The application is a highly secure, standards-based VoIP softphone that works over both 3G and WiFi networks, integrating seamlessly with other CounterPath desktop and convergence solutions, as well as with enterprise and carrier infrastructure equipment from major vendors. Bria iPhone Edition also supports Asterisk-based telephony systems.
Like other VoIP solutions for the iPhone, CounterPath’s app leverages the iPhone’s native address book and its embedded Bluetooth technology to provide a “seamless calling experience while on the move.”
In addition to the Bria-branded version, CounterPath will also be developing customized white-label versions of Bria iPhone Edition for carriers, OEMs and enterprise customers worldwide through its professional services team.
Bria iPhone Edition costs $3.99 and users can also additionally upgrade to include the G.729 codec support — the “default” version supports G.711 and GSM codecs.

Dusan Belic
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.
