Comments on: Skype embraces video phones

CEO Niklas Zennström leans on outside development but has begun testing an internally developed version of video telephony.

$6 billion to $10 billion?

"...Skype's annual revenue has not been disclosed, but analysts suggest that it could be in the $6 billion to $10 billion range..."

Although, I'm sure that would make Niklas and Tim VERY happy, I think "billion" should be "million". ;-)

ACN's IRIS3000 is not only the most advanced video phone(it allows you to not only see who youre talking to for less than $30 a month, it lets you use other wireless phones and allows you to view online content), its free!

Hi,

I have recently been approached by a acn rep. Apparently Donald Trump is endorsing ACN on The Apprentice show tonight on NBC. I would like to learn more about the differences between skype and ACN. Is skype simple to hook up and use? I am not the computer literate...but, can used it for email and surfing, etc.

Thanks,
Sharon

ACN vs. Skype?
Some of you may be wondering why give the ACN video phone a try when there is Skype already available. First and foremost, the quality of the ACN video phone trumps the "quality" of Skype. The realiability of the ACN Video Phone is also far ahead of Skype. People who have used Skype and then switched to the ACN Video Phone wonder why they ever used Skype at all. Although they both do require a high speed internet connection, with Skype you need to be right in front of your computer for it to work. With the ACN Video Phone you just need an ethernet connection. The ACN video phone also has outgoing phone jacks, so that you can plug a regular phone into it. For example, most of us have cordless phones that we use to walk around the house and talk to people, with the available jacks you don't lose the ability to do that.

An additional comment about ACN vs. Skype - I'm a serious tech geek & I can tell you the ACN video phone is far superior to most other video phones (and definitely skype) when it comes to quality, ease of use & being user friendly. Not to mention their support is excellent - try getting 24 hour support for Skype, good luck. It's like anything else in life - you get what you pay for & for the price the ACN video phone is probably one of the best on the market. It's sort of like the MS of video phones - yeah, you could use Skype or something else but why woudld you when it's so easy to use & the price isn't bad. Yep - Linux is free........try getting support for it.

The best company that almost invented Videophones is 8x8 , the difference is that ACN is just like those company that recruit people to work on residual and comissions , they just want to get poeple to sell videophones . 8x8 had videophones for more than 10 years . Just check it out ww.8x8.com
