Skype Rolls Updates to Skype for Pocket PC
It's been a few months, but Skype has finally released an update for Skype for Pocket PC. There are a few doozies in the list of fixes and additions, including:
� Ability to leave Skype Voicemail
� SkypeIn Support
� Centralized Contact list
� VGA support
� Improved security
� Ability to call France
� Ability to use program on Chinese devices
� Addition of French and German languages
Anyone installed the update yet? What's the verdict?

For me, it's a solid update, and I'm liking what I see so far. I haven't come across any issues, so those who use Skype may want to give this a go, double-quick. :P

Thanks for the update.
But man lately it seems all I've been doing is just upgrading one PPC software version or another as posted by PPCThoughts (uninstall/reinstall, perhaps re-register for paid apps, etc), without enough time in between to actually USE some of the software in question... Not that I'm complaining

Skype-In works perfectly, for those who are wondering...

Has anyone had problems in using it with a PDA2k?
While in most cases the previous version used to work almost completely well in my device, this new version has already caused me 2 hard-resets during its operation.
Here is the scenario: you go into the system, talk a little, go out and in again. Then the device gets stuck and the only way to restart it is to remove the battery and re-insert it (no way to turn it on/off, no soft reset, nothing). At the moment you do so, it hard resets.
Surely, in regular situations (without using skype) I can remove the battery whenever I want and the backup battery takes over. No hard-resets.
Any ideas?

I've possibly discovered something interesting about this update - but I haven't tested my theory fully yet...
Previously when using Skype on my iPAQ 2210, I get feedback between the 2210's speaker and the microphone. So, to stop this, I use a set of headphones plugged into the iPAQ, and speak into the iPAQ's microphone as normal. This stops the feedback problem.
However, today after downloading the new update, I just wanted to test to see if it was working or not. So, I called someone quickly - with no headphones plugged in. They answered, and I expected to get the feedback problem. But there was no feedback !!! I was able to hold a full conversation - talking into the 2210's mic whilst listening on the 2210's speaker. No feedback and no headphones needed.
So, was it because I had the iPAQ's speaker set at quite a low level (low enough to stop the feedback), or is it because Skype have now put an unannounced duplex thingy into their updated software to stop the feedback problem ???

skype via modem
hi all
I know this is a little off-topic, but has anyone ever tried it with a Modem connection rather than Wifi? I was thinking while I was away that if I didn't have high-speed access I could use modem.
Also, my buddy has an Axim x30 @312 MHz, with Wifi on board. Will the 312 be enough to use this app? what about overclocking utils I've seen? would that help?
thanx for the info
