Im a newbie to cisco Jabber, Ive been asked to research if there is any way or API available to implement a video call over Iphone? (similar to telepresence) Any help would be greatly appreciated. If you can point me in the right direction that would be great. Also the jabber API for iphone where can I get access to this? I know that Jabber for Ipad has video call, but not Iphone why?   Thanks!

Sonny,
The Jabber for Iphone is available as product. You should be able to download from App store.
There is currently no API suport on iPhone/iPad or any of the mobile OS, the Jabber Web SDK currently support Windows and Mac on most browser.
You should be able to find more details on jabberdeveloper.com. From the website, you will find very good information that covers requesting a test account and downloading the sample code, FAQ, etc to help you learn more about Jabber SDK.
Hope this help

Ting-Hao,
 
Thanks for your reply.
 
OK so there are no Jabber API's available for any mobile device, but there are ways to be able portal a video call onto a mobile device right?  I have been looking around on the jabberdeveloper.com site and I still trying to figure out how to get a video call on a mobile device.  For example jabber on ipad has vidoe call capabilities how do you get this capability on iphone.
 
Thanks,
 
Sonny

Sonny,
Yes, Jabber as a client provides the functionality such as video/audio, IM/Presence, sharing, etc. The SDK is totally different from Jabber client since it's an interface design for developing your own application on Web. The limitation of not been avaialbe on Mobile is because of the browser plugin that is needed to transfer Video which is not available on Mobile device at this point.
You can find  more information about Jabber iPhone, and Jabber iPad. Also, both of them can be downloaded on iTune I believe.

Thanks Howard for your reply.
I understand now, I assumed that this mobile API would be available.  Would there be any way of using this desktop based SDK to forward video to a mobile device? 
 
Thanks,

Sonny,
Not quite sure the use case here. You can forward the Jabber call from Web SDK to any Device that is within the same CUCM. So, let's say your Web SDK gets a call, then it can forward the call to a mobile device as long as it's registered in CUCM.
Thanks,
Howard
