I hope this isn't just an unlimited version of SkypeOut, 'cause every time I tried to use that service -- even with a desktop -- I found myself in an embarrassing situation with clients or support people saying "I can't hear anything you're saying. Hello? Hello?"
I wish Skype would stop grafting on junk like Backgammon and radio, and would focus on improving the call quality and reliability. That's the point of the stupid thing, and the one mental niche it was best poised to capture: "It's like the phone, but over the Internet, and for free."
Now it's more like "It's like a phone. Kinda. But a webcam. Oh, and PayPal. And podcasts, sorta. And games. And file transfer. And... Where are you going?"
