The OBi200 a newer box and has many new features like:
Support for the OBi call button
Better fax support
Allow registration from IP or Soft phones.
And more.

Any future new features will probably NOT be added to the OBi100.

The funny part is the 200 is now less money than the 100. I don't get what is going on.

Obihai hasn't announced anything yet, but my guess is that the device is at end-of-life.  It's out of stock at Amazon, and selling for above-list at Newegg.

Just get a 200 and be happy...better hardware, better features.

Obi devices contain a custom chip with a processor in the corner. In the 100 and 110 it was a MIPS processor. For later models Obihai switched to an ARM processor. My guess is that Obihai had a contract with the fab for a certain number of the MIPS based chips and once those have all been used in 100s or 110s there will be no more.
