<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>I have written an ENUM Client for Android which is
due for imminent release.</font></tt>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>It integrates directly with the Contact / Dialer application
(indeed anywhere you can dial a number from). Whenever you dial a
full E.164 number with suitable IP connectivity it automatically performs
an ENUM lookup.</font></tt>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>If there are no results, the call proceeds as normal.
If there are ENUM results, they are presented in a (sorted) list,
so the end user can choose which alternate contact method to use. The
application also offers the option to bypass the ENUM results altogether
and call the original number.</font></tt>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>I'll send more details (including a download link)
once it's formally announced.</font></tt>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>kind regards,</font></tt>
