Gizmo Project gets on my bad side

When Gizmo Project first appeared on the scene, I really liked them. I wanted to cheer them on. They were the Mac against the PC in relation to their Skype competition. They’ve released version 3 of their client. New features include the ability to call those on the Yahoo and MSN Messenger networks.
The other less publicized new feature is the lack of a Mac version of the new client. Ouch. Skype already gives new features to Windows users way in advance. That’s one way that Gizmo shouldn’t copy the competition. This after supporting Macs with their free browser calling. I can only help the “Public release and other platforms are coming soon…” in their forums regarding 3.0 is hinting at a Mac version soon.

A feature I like about Gizmo is you can do all that plus you can login to certain PBXs, too (eg. Asterisk). The part about that I do not like is instead of logging in directly to your PBX, it must go through the Gizmo network and THEN to your PBX.
Wait, it is out. It was a day behind. Not all that much to get all frustrated.
Testing it shortly.
