Why would I be posting on the obi board for a smart phone feature request? I am asking for a POTS adapter, not a smart phone app.
I suggested it be a generic box with an ethernet port and a RJ-11 port. Something with no firmware on it, possibly running an Android OS.
Google apparently doesn't like the present 3rd party applications that use XMPP like the Obi100 and Obi110, as they state that is part of the reason for killing off the support.
I am suggest letting them (google) control the application layer. Something where you buy a new generic obi adapter, and point it to google play to get THEIR app.
Believe it or not, there is a market for cheap POTS service for those who infrequently use a land line, and don't want to pay upwards of $40/mo for service from traditional telco.
Google voice with the Obi100/110 is feature rich. The next most economical is the Magic Jack at $30/yr. Most people would likely be willing to pay double that yearly for continued google voice with the Obi100/110.

Any wireless android smart phone will do today what you are asking for. Also consider that this can be accomplished without the use of an Obi. <snip>
