I'm the developer of Phone Amego, a Mac application that provides on-screen Caller ID, click-to-dial, and Mac integration.  I've already implemented Caller ID support for the OBi110 in Phone Amego.  Besides the convenience of on-screen caller ID, Phone Amego already does reverse lookups checking multiple sources as desired.  I'm not looking for the OBi box to present the caller name, only to pass along the peer number which it does (but could do better by indicating when call status is available in the syslog).



I'm curious if you are planning on extending Phone Amego for the Windows based PC?  Also, could this be extended to be hosted on a DD-WRT-Based Router through the OPKG /Ipkg Packages, where the use could opload their own CNAM data (Phonebook/GV Phonebook Data)?  I have a WRT54G-TM (DD-WRT) Router on my LAN with considerable excess Memory that could potentially be used for just such an Application.

Not at this time, but I'm open to possibility.

CTI (Computer Telephone Integration) has been around for a while.  What's different about Phone Amego is:
(1) It does both dialing AND caller ID.
(2) It embraces the iPhone and the Internet.
(3) It works with most common phones (cell phones, landlines, VoIP).
(4) It provides extensive integration to work with other tools while remaining
     simple and compact.

Enjoy!

Ostracus:
To add, the ability to turn on/off the delay before the Obi110/100 dials a number without having to end with the pound key. Most modern phones this delay isn't necessary since they store the number temporarily then spit it out when the "talk" key is pressed.

Since OBihai has mentioned in this forum an upcoming firmware version 1.3, we should make it easier for them to identify some of the more urgently need improvements. This list can be a condensed version of some of the feature requests many have asked for. We are eagerly awaiting for the improvements that a 1.3 version will bring. I hope they pull another rabbit from the hat like they did with the GV implementation.

Here is my personal top ten mostly taken from the various suggestions in the Feature request section of the forum. I will admit to being a little partial to some of the features I personnaly requested.

...
6- OBihai supported CID lookup app. Or at least make the tools available for some of the smart OBi users to develop one which can be shared.
...


Just wanted to let you know that I put together a .NET app to pull back the caller name and photo from your Google contacts and then send a Growl notification when a call comes into the Obihai device. This allows me to show caller id information on all of my laptops and the HTPC when watching television. I'm looking for people to test the software so if anyone is interested please let me know.

bhasden,

Great. I always hoped that 3rd party apps would start showing up. You would be the second that has offered an app which works with the OBi on this forum. There have been a few scripts developed around the OBi as well. I could be your first volunteer, however I don't have anyone calling me on my US telephone number since I am in located in Canada. I use it basically only for outgoing. I'm sure you'll get a few who will jump on this opportunity. This has already been requested by a few people.

How does it work? Can you have it do CID lookup for other numbers via an internet service as well or only limited to GV contacts?
