iPOD shuffles IP PBX to a Mac Mini and calls it iBlue®

I have known SNOM for ages, I even beta tested their IP PBX a few years ago. Now the offshoot of SNOM, 4S newcom, has released or about to release a Mac Mini based IP PBX, iBlue®, That comes to you in a iPOD shuffle .
4S newcom focuses on delivering carrier-grade software platforms to VoIP providers, ISPs and enterprises. 4S newcom delivers system, components and know-how along the full VoIP value chain: carrier-grade class-4 "dial tone systems", (on-premise) IP PBX, hosted PBX as well as IP Centrex, based on SNOM technology.

If you are to visit VON Europe, which will be hosted in Berlin between November 6th and 8th, you will be able to see touch and if you got the bucks buy one.

According to Dr. Harry Behrens, Managing Director of 4S newcom, "We have put our complete IP PBX on it [the iPod Shuffle, It is so compact that even on the smallest iPod Shuffle (512 MB) enough room is left for 4 full hours of music." Hope it will not come with 4 hours of German music. Or if it does, it might help to expelthose thse sales calls.

The iBlue® entry level system consists of a Mac mini, the iPod Shuffle with the 4S IP PBX licensed for up to 250 users and 30 parallel calls, as well as five snom300 VoIP phones. It will be priced at 2,999.00 Euro or 3762.00 Dollars. According to 4S newcom online sales will commence on November 6th 2006 - just in time for VON Europe, which will be hosted in Berlin between November 6th and 8th.

But hold it, Andy at VOIP Watch, says;
"This is similar to a Voxilla offering based on Communigate Pro. The interesting point of distinction is how much less expensive Voxilla's system is. So you don't get the iPOD...."
So if you already have an iPod or similar, check out his post for Voxilla link.
