1. a clause in iphone Developpers agreement that forbid applications running in background, 2. lack of sip clients. Now it seems skype is available on iphones. Has someone tried it ? Along new skype capabilities in Asterisk, could it be used to hook iphones to Asterisk for both inbound and outbound calls ?
