Softphone developer Counterpath Solutions has released the latest version of its free SIP softphone, X-Lite 3.0 for the Mac operating system.

X-Lite 3.0 is based on eyeBeam 1.5, CounterPath's carrier grade commercial SIP softphone client, and provides high quality audio/video capabilities, instant messaging and presence management in combination with zero-touch configuration, a comprehensive address book and more.

Users looking for a feature-rich and easy-to-use softphone for their VoIP service can download X-Lite 3.0 for Windows or Mac for free, from CounterPath's website. The paid version, eyeBean 1.5 is the same client but adds more functionality such as more lines, the ability to transfer calls and integration with Microsoft Outlook that lets you call from the Outlook platform.

Users who subscribe to a VoIP or Broadband service will be able to experience the power of X-Lite as CounterPath enables them to communicate anytime, anywhere by bringing their communication experience directly to the end-point, says the company.

With its intuitive & familiar interface, users can seamlessly transition from a traditional hard phone environment into the world of Voice over IP. Also by making the navigation simple and user friendly, X-Lite provides users with easy access to video and address book management.

Counterpath reports that it has logged more than 2,500,000 downloads (at a current run rate of 130,000 per month) since it launched the freesoftphone in April 2003.
