JSIP working on Google Android

This morning I found out this example by Jean:

As soon as I saw the blog post I downloaded Andorid SDK and the example to check this with my own eyes ;-).

Jean manage to run the NIST-SIP stack (a public domain implementation of standard JSIP API) and a complete SIP dialog setup and tear-down example on the Google Phone platform (alias Andorid).

What's great about this achievement:

1) JSIP is a standard api that can now be used by developers to implement server-side and Andorid applications.

2) NIST-SIP is a stable implementation of the JSIP specification. So now google has a stable SIP stack by leveraging the OS path.

3) It's quite straight-forward to port/run JSDK application on Andorid JVM and NIST-SIP is a great example not just marketing fluff.

Kudos to Jean and Google for the great stuff !
