that's true, but my understanding is that there are additional features that are available through Skype such as file sharing and instant messaging.
perhaps. I don't use them. Well, I instant message my cousins overseas. But same as any AIM client I believe.
A lot of people use it. i think that the vulnerabilities may be more serious when someone uses skype on a network-connected computer. Again, I'm not an expert.
I might buy a wifi-skype phone @ Fryes....the Netgear SPH200W. It gets so-so reviews, but I am going to need it out of the country where a laptop may not be very accessible....we'll see how it is.
oh yeah, you can do a 24 person telephone conference on skype...call landlines and cell phones. noice!
picked it up, it is good on my network. the problem is when i go out of the country, which is the primary focus of this phone. I wish the skype on my windowsmobile device works, but for some reason it doesn't (not only limited to me, its a widespread problem). I suppose I could use a PSP to do skype....i wonder how that works out.
