Cool. Now I just wish my Axim supported the hands-free Bluetooth profile. Maybe I can get Skype on my Smartphone though.

On another note, when I signed in to Skype.com today, I saw a "Skype Gift Day" message, and got 10 free SkypeOut minutes. :)

Yes, the free credit was a special Valentine's Day offer for all US and UK users. Other countries should receive similar offerings over the coming weeks. :)
