After US$500,000 in development costs, FreedomVOICE has abandoned the beta test of Newber, an application which blended VoIP and location awareness to allow users to direct calls to various phones, reports TMCNet, a communications and technology blog.
Newber was submitted to Apple on Oct. 2, 2008, and after 165 days, “Apple has not approved the application and worse it won’t tell FreedomVoice anything” the article adds. However, Apple did approve the company’s other application IQ Voicemail in about a month according to the company “so there is something about the Newber app that Apple doesn’t like,” says TMCNet.
Newber would have added virtual second line and the ability to manage calls and route them through PBX, landline, or even other cellular handsets. FreedomVOICE is apparently still planning a Blackberry version of the app.
