Snap VoIP with Snap At Snapnumbers

Today I came across snap numbers. It seems that Snap is a dialer and call pop up application for Asterisk. It works by sending the phone number you wish to dial to your Asterisk IP PBX and initiating a call back to your phone, be it VoIP or a PSTN phone. Once your phone rings you pick it up and complete the call. One notable feature is the Microsoft Outlook integration. Outlook users, the call pop-ups are integrated with outlook contacts and the information about the contact will be shown including pictures if they are in the outlook.
In fact it integrates with other applications like Excel, word and powerpoint from Microsoft office. There is a TAPI extension that allows to integrate with application like goldmine, and ACT.
One thing to remember is that this is not a softphone. I would say it is a plugin for your phone, be it a softphone or a regular phone. It extends the capabilities of either phone.
Also the plugin for Firefox and Thunderbird can detect phone numbers on web pages and make them dialable by simply clicking. Something that Google tried with Click-to-call. If they are to populate this concept, they only need a good marketing and PR campaign. Kingmaker at voip watch, comes to my mind.
snapnumber is here. How to configure snap for Asterisk/Trixbox tomorrow.
All in all I am still loyal to my Asteridex fro nerd Vilttles.
