CounterPath Releases Bria for iPad, the World's First Universal iOS Softphone New Bria iPad Edition Offers Enterprise-Class and Carrier-Grade Mobile VoIP with PBX Functionality for all iPads.

CounterPath Corporation today announced the worldwide availability of Bria iPad Edition Version 1.0 via the Apple iTunes App Store. This standards-based, service agnostic softphone provides an intuitive user interface for making and receiving calls over a Wi-Fi or a 3G/4G mobile connection, making it the first universal endpoint for iPad.

"With Bria iPad Edition, business users now can carry a single device that combines the best of their laptop, mobile phone and deskphone,” said Todd Carothers, Senior Vice President of Marketing and Products, CounterPath. “Tablets are quickly becoming the essential business tool for the mobile workforce, and we’re also seeing an increase in personal devices being used for work. So based upon our success with Bria for iPhone, and Bria for Android, the iPad Edition was the natural next step to address both emerging trends.”

Bria iPad Edition 1.0 supports multiple VoIP accounts and SIP protocols, Bluetooth headsets and native iOS multitasking. This enables business users and prosumers to access multiple personal and business accounts while simultaneously utilizing other applications or accessing documents on their iPad during a call.

Fully compatible with the 01 Telecom network, Bria iPad Edition supports hosted telephony, effectively turning the iPad into a mobile desktop phone.

A version of Bria iPad Edition that includes support for video calls, SMS, Instant Messaging and presence will be available later this year.

Bria iPad Edition is available immediately in the Apple iTunes App Store or via CounterPath’s online store atwww.counterpath.com/store. Alternative simply go to the 01 Telecom Downloads page.
