SunRocket Wh-Ooma?

In the aftermath of the SunRocket crash and burn, there has been a lot of talk about taking VoIP in a differentiated direction. Enter Ooma. The new Palo-Alto, Calif.-based VoIP startup has launched a beta version of its product. Focusing on hardware instead of service, Ooma subscribers pay a one-time price of $399 for a kit that includes a hub that connects to their broadband devices. The kit offers support for voice mail, special dial tones and there's an option for a second line. But what about service? Why, it's free, of course. Enhanced services that cost money are down the road.
