I think its cool the VoIP thing becoming common on the Pocket PC. I installed Skype but haven’t tried it yet. Normally I don’t pimp my website in the forums but this is directly related to the topic:

EarthLink Selects Xten's VoIP SIP Softphones (http://www.pdatoday.com/more/2182_0_1_0_C/)
Skype for Pocket PC 1.0 Released (http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=32103&highlight=skype)
Xten (R) Adds Full Motion Video to VoIP With New SIP Softphone - eyeBeam (R) (http://www.pdatoday.com/more/2055_0_1_0_C/)

How has the VoIP been working for people? I just added a WiFi card to my PPCPE and am anxious to try it out. I would like to see an interface for using my PPC with my home phone, basically turning my home phone into an IP phone that would use my PPC as a handset… now that would be slick!
