A homebrew application for making VoIP calls on a Nintendo DS has emerged from gamers. A post on GBAtemp.net reports that member "samuelv" released an app-SvSIP--that allows SIP calls to be made directly from the device.
"Several members have already tried it and it is reported to work great," GBAtemp's Costello writes [1].
SvSIP is making the rounds among Nintendo users, who are working out the bugs, according to Gizmodo. A SIP account is required, but anyone techie enough to consider voice-enabling a DS probably already has one.
