Phono Running on Android Devices
November 8th, 2010 by cmatthieu
Chris Matthieu performed some live coding on the PhonoSDK at the San Francisco Telephony Meetup last week at Pivotal Labs. During the demo we built a phone in the browser that could both place and receive phone calls via PSTN and SIP similar to the demo we posted earlier on this blog.
Afterwards, a few of us telecom rebels hung out and continued hacking on PhonoSDK. We soon realized that the new Android devices came loaded with Flash. So as an experiment, we loaded the Phono.com page in the Android browser were able to place a PSTN call from the web page! Here are a few photos!
As I understand, Nokia, Sony, and Samsung smartphones also have Flash built into their browsers. Give it a try and let us know if Phono works on your phone!
Just a note, we are working on native support for iOS (iPhone, iPad, and iPod) as well as Android. So stay tuned…

Awesome!
How was the quality of the call?
I can’t wait for your iPhone release.
Given the differences in wireless services, it would also be interesting to monitor and report how quality varies depending on carrier, handset, O/S, location…..

Hi Don,
The quality of the call was surprisingly good! We’ll keep you posted on our iOS version of Phono.

Hi,
Can You provide details about phone, android version, browser type and flash version?
I tried with Samsung Galaxy S I9000 (Android 2.1 update 1) with default web browser and with SkyFire (which has got flash built in). I’ve also installed flash as discribed in: http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-install-flash-10-1-on-android-2-1-eclair-devices/
the website: http://www.whatismyflash.com/ says: Installed Flash Player 9.1.122
Any ideas?
Thanks for reply

It was a developer’s phone and I don’t remember the make and model. Looks like Sprint is the carrier. I though that it was a Droid but could be mistaken.
