I´ve tested it on Windows and OS X. "K boys and girls, the 1.4.0.2 stand alone is out. But I get a problem when selecting the mac version on my Flock browser. When trying to download the Mac version, I get the following. http://www.collanos.com/files/downloads/CollanosPhone/CollanosPhoneInstaller.dmg%C3%A2%C2%80%C2%9D%20target= which does NOT result a dmg download, but displays a “Page not found” message. I imagine, it should read, http://www.collanos.com/files/downloads/CollanosPhone/CollanosPhoneInstaller.dmg which “incidentally” does work."

The interpretation that Collanos Phone is dead is wrong. We develop the phone as a standalone GPL product and integrate it as an external softphone as seemlessly as possible with Collanos Workplace. Prime reason for our development effort for sure is to make Collanos Workplace users voice/video functionals available. The installer installs both product but we keep Collanos Phone available with a standalone installer too. Like that the phone in its most recent version is made available on hundreds of freeware download sites as well as it is distributed as a free softphone by telco providers. Since Collanos Phone as voice/video extension is bundled with and interface to Collanos Workplace and users have to have the compatible, tested phone version installed, we decided to integrate both products into the same installer for the time being. We expect from this less support issues. Actually the same reason why we also include the Java Runtime version tested with Collanos Workplace with the installers for Windows and Linux. Franco Dal Molin, Collanos Software's CTO, will answer your points regarding Wengo and GPL. Collanos Phone is based on GPL and has Wengo Phone as its origin. BTW there is a new version of Collanos Phone 1.4.0.2 coming out - also as a standalone product. The Mac version of it is already included with the newest 1.4.0.2 installer ready for download as of today. It support now supports Leopard and Tiger. If you have any questions do not hesitate to mail, call or blog comment us . You can also reach us anytime via Collanos Workplace :-) or Collanos phone.

The download page now only mentions, “Collanos Workplace … now includes Collanos Phone”. The first of this that should have sounded bells off is a Dec. 16, 08 email I received from Peter Helfenstein and Franco Dal Molin mentioning the extension of Workplace’s capability to that of video and audio based telephony. It didn’t mention the killing off of the softphone project, but that’s marketing for you. You can “read into” this change-over on Helfenstein’s blog entry from January 28, 09 entitled “Team - It’s Time to Talk22“.
