According to this [1], SIP support already exists in Android 2.3. I don't know how far this "support" goes (I suppose it's not hooked up to the Google Voice app, at least). And I wonder how many carriers, once they are shipping Android 2.3, are going to leave that code in place and accessible to the user.
I don't want to be too much of a conspiracy theorist here, but I do wonder if Google is dragging their feet on SIP support because of conflicts of interest with Android.

- Pyrodogg 16y agoI don't think the conflict is as strong as it once was. Mobile carriers have already begun to 'pivot' to be data providers instead of phone providers with data on the side. I think they'll find a way to get their margins either way and data, including voip calling, might end up being cheaper for them in the long run anyway. I guess that's contingent on if they can innovate fast enough to keep their networks from being crushed.
