Jitsi (aka SIP Communicator) Makes Strides: Video, IM, Desktop Sharing & Conferece

Last night I spent a little time revisiting SIP Communicator (now renamed Jitsi). This is a multiplatform, opensource SIP client. I'm impressed at the progress it has made since my last visit! I did only the most basic tests but it seems to work! And it has some impressive features:

• Video Calls (263/264)
• SIP Instant Message
• Desktop Sharing
• Voice Conference
• Multiplatform IM Support (Gmail/Yahoo/Etc)

I did some tests using snom ONE SIP pbx and was surprised what all worked! Video call, SIP instant message and desktop sharing seemed to work with out much fiddling. (all media needs to be started after call in progress) I wasn't quite sure how to get SIP presence going in my quick test.
