Just wondering if MJ would work easily on an iPAD or has Apple figured
out a way to make it incompatible ?

Hmmm ... There should be some kind of adapter I would think.
Also I guess the O/S would be a hurdle since it's iPhone os ?

The next gen OS for the Iphone,Itouch,Ipad will support multitasking,that and some super hacker might be able to pull it off.

I wouldn't hold my breath waiting,Skype and Friend Caller 3 apps work good on WIFI for VoIP calls. Smile

There's an adapter that would let you connect a phone plug into the usb port. If this can be reversed (to use the phone jack on the iPad) then it might work.
You would need to convert the adapter on both ends: one needs a male to male phone plug and the other would need a usb female on both ends.
But I have not actually tried this.

Yep, you're right about the software ... I guess someone will have a workaround for that, or the next iPad version will have a usb port.

Well if you jailbreak your ipad it would work with the Siphon app

How about Acrobits Softphone? Any way to get that to work. It should work with iPhone and iPad.

Sorry but that phone app doesn't have the built in MJMD5 support that Siphon. If you want magicjack support on an i device you will need to jail break it inst all SSH and install siphon beta manually.

There are issues of software. And of hardware. So, officially, magicJack will never work on a current iPad.

Whether one can hack their SIP credentials, and install a softphone is entirely up to their tenacity and skill level.

But why turn your wonderful iPad into an ATA? Just get a thin client, or cheapy, cheapy netbook and run the mJ from there. My Dell mini 9 runs my magicJack superbly, and as it has an SSD HD, should last a long time!

It is POSSIBLE the new software only MagicTalk might work on it...

It's also possible that I'll get a legitimate check for a million dollars tomorrow.

The new software-only magicTalk, if it ever actually comes out, will almost undoubtedly work only on Macs and PCs. mJ has made talk of it coming out for mobile devices later, and if so, they might write a version for iPad. But, they're already late on even releasing magicTalk, so I'm not holding my breath.
