How about support for Caller ID name lookups?
RyanBlace:
This is something I would really like to see added (for Google Voice). I know there isn't much time for a SOA query across the net. I also assume there isn't much storage space for a huge list of contacts in the device.
Here's an idea. After the person calls the first time, the device queries GV for the name and stores is in the local memory for the next call. Keep doing this until the allocated storage space is filled. Then, start dropping entries based on some sort of frequency or age algorithm.
So the end user wouldn't see the caller id contact name the first time the contact calls, but would on the second call.
Common sense: Don't store anything for numbers which are not in GV contacts. Store only a user defined number of characters.
Even if the OBi ran a job once a night to lookup all the day's calls would be a great first step.
Could be a marketing feature... "Our device learns, theirs doesn't." :)

I just added support for Obi telephone adaptors in Phone Amego.
If you are Mac based, this would be one way to get what you want:
- on-screen caller ID (screen pops) across your entire LAN.
- optional reverse lookups using popular on-line services.
What's unique about Phone Amego is that it works with cell phones, landlines, Google Voice,VoIP, and provides extensive Mac integration,

P.S. If you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them personally (my Email address is in the Phone Amego User's Guide linked above).

I'd also add my request for a Caller ID lookup feature, Especially for Gmail contacts.

I like this idea and believe it is already built-in to Phone Amego. On the Mac, your Gmail contacts are normally synchronized with Apple's Address Book automatically, so when Phone Amego does an Address Book lookup, it includes your Gmail contacts. Is there any reason to access your Gmail contacts separately?
