One thing I'm interested in trying on the Pandora is using it for voice communications since it has a built in microphone. Obviously skype is out of the question, but I was wondering if anyone had tried any of the free alternatives.
For example, on my linux laptop, I use empathy for google voice chat and it works very well. Has anyone tried building this for the Pandora or similar hardware?
Another possibility is using a softphone application that could communicate with a PBX like asterisk. You would then have the possibility of dialing out to ordinary cell phones or land lines. It might be kind of nice to be able to place calls whenever you have a wifi connection.
Any thoughts?
