Thanks for the replies David ! I totally understand that the hardware manufacturer needs to implement the appropriate links - like a couple of extra traces of copper - what I don't understand is WHY they wouldn't ! Or WHY it wouldn't be seen as a basic requirement for the product.
I also question WHY there's concern about a lack of CPU power - I've been doing IVR development since early 1997, where an Intel 386 CPU was supporting multiple simulatenous phone calls. Well, actually, in hindsight, the CPU was supported by a telephony board ... so maybe this concern is valid ... In any event, what happened to the statement that ALL software on the Android platform could be replaced - including the phone (interface) ? It's my interpretation that if the phone app can handle incoming & outgoing calls, then it should be possible to extend it to include IVR-like features. Is there a more-appropriate forum to discuss this 'issue' / requirement / feature request ? Thanks, Steven.
