According to Wikipedia, Gizmo is proprietary, as well
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gizmo_Project
but it seems to use the SIP standard for call negotiation, which is
much better than Skype that uses only proprietary protocols. Which
Open Standard audio codecs Gizmo uses I cannot tell, the information
does not seem readily available.
So while Gizmo seems better than Skype in terms of Open Standards
compliance, I cannot recommend it, as the software is proprietary.
But unlike Skype, using Gizmo might allow me to participate in calls
if there is a SIP number I can call from my VOIP system.
Wikipedia has a list of VOIP software
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_VoIP_software
that might be useful.
I'd probably recommend to take a look at
http://openwengo.com/
which seems available for multiple platforms, including mobile phones
and web browsers and is Free Software using Open Standards all the way.
Regards,
Georg
