I have used the openlpc sources and they are very portable, and can give you a 1400bps to 4800bps audio stream.

But that would be pretty much a novelty without interoperability with other PTT systems wouldn't it?
You make a good point. What the heck is the use of this if no one you call has a (Sprint) enabled PTT mobile? Unlike Nextel, which has all its phones PTT capable, Sprint will only have a certain number of these. hmmm...it might take a long while for the numbers of capable headset to make this worthwhile, unless of course Sprint could some how upgrade most existing mobiles.

Anyway Potatoho, do you know of any existing open source projects to port VoIP to palmos? Other than PTT, this would be an incredible and cheap alternative for making/receiving international calls...

Thanks...
