3rd party apps development for the OBi 110/100
QBZappy:
I think it would be a good idea to have a thread for anyone interested in offering OBi related apps/scripts, etc... If you have the skills this could be the place to offer and discuss. There would be people on this board who would like the idea of super charging their OBi's. If the OBihai people would offer the ability of the syslog to provide more useful information, much of it could be done just by parsing the syslog records. Imagine all the call states with other relevant call info such as incoming/outing numbers, call duration, dates times, available for apps developers. At the moment a few have tried scrapping the OBi web pages for info.
Some ideas which may have already been requested on the board and other useful ideas:
CID lookup (GV contacts/and other callers)
Reverse number lookups
Outlook integration
Growl/YAK/NCID CID delivery systems
Click2dial to sip phone or to attached OBi phone
Asterisk Click2dial
Dial plan configurator utility/wizard (my favorite). Some of these basic dial plans could easily be setup programmatically with a little input from the user. I only wish I had these skills. (This could possibly relieve RonR from repeating similar dial plan setups ;D )
Have I missed anything?

Hardware VoIP Monitor: desktop VoIP and PBX monitoring
http://www.reincubate.com/labs/hardware-voip-monitor-desktop-voip-and-pbx-monitoring/#extension
HVoIPM is a small desktop application that can be used to monitor one or more heterogenous VoIP or PBX systems. Users can choose from a range of device monitors (or build their own) to provide telephony data to be logged or displayed on screen. For instance, the software could be used to log all calls made by a certain device, or to flash up a warning or launch a process when a VoIP device's registration state goes offline.
Software is a bit dated, however this free (for non-commercial use) 3rd party app, needs dot net v2, which can read many types of ATA info gives a lot of interesting ideas on how it can be done. Software can be extented to include the OBi.

The CNAM lookup from GV Contacts is the single most desirable feature for me. 90-95 % of the calls we receive are from individuals/companies that are in my Contact list. Any new Number/Name is quickly added to this list and calls from Telemarketers or other undesirable sources are Blocked using Google Voice blocking mechanism.
I would want the information pass to the phone, as oppose to a PC running on the LAN. I wonder if there are any technical hurdles that would prevent OBi from implementing a CNAM pass-thru from GV Contacts. There is also the possibility that OBi could utilize their OBiTALK Networking capabilities to do reverse lookups for a minimal annual fee of say $10.00 or where the each user can upload their contact data to the cloud as a lookup source. Finally, a DDWRT/Tomato "OPT" integration could be possible, if the data could be quickly pass to the OBi1xx and then to the phone between the first and second ring!

Everton,
You should offer to test this app that forum member bhasden generously offered to build. It seems to be exactly what you want.

Right now it only supports looking up contacts using your Google contacts. If the number is in Google, it will retrieve the name and display it using Growl. I'm in the middle of message around with adding modem support for anyone who has a machine with a modem to retrieve the caller id information from there along with adding support to pull caller information from another source like the WhitePages API. The software is in early beta stages right now which is why I need the help testing it.

Getting GV Contacts is fairly easy, they are listed on your GV inbox page. The technical hurdle is that there is no published API for Google Voice, so there's a risk of Google changing the service and breaking devices in the field.
FYI: I'm the developer of Phone Amego which provides on-screen Caller ID, click-to-dial, and Macintosh integration for Bluetooth cell phones, landlines, and VoIP (including OBi ATAs). Phone Amego does reverse lookups using many sources: Apple's Address Book (which synchs automatically with Google Contacts), local lookup file or contact card, Daylite CRM from Marketcircle, and online reverse lookup websites. From what I can tell, web reverse lookup services have Terms of Service (TOS) that limit their commercial application or require a subscription.
