Clueless writer: You can use Skype from Windows Mobile phones
by aabcdefghij987654321 February 8, 2006 11:21 AM PST
"But with the exception of Skype's phone that can connect to Wi-Fi networks, the service's members have been tied to their computers and thus to limited locations."

Wrong. With Skype's Windows Mobile (Windows CE/PocketPC) client and a phone with 3G EV-DO capability you can use Skype being mobile and from anywhere int country. In fact I do just that with on my Sprint PPC 6700 phone. How about Clueless C|Net writers do some better research next time?

Can Also Run Skype On A PDA With WIFi
by Stating February 8, 2006 12:28 PM PST
I run Skype on my Dell Axim PDA all the time. All I need is access to a hotspot -- either free or paid. When I'm at home, I can use it like a cordless phone off the wireless connection from my router. I plug a pair of lightweight headphones in, put the PDA in my shirtpocket, and I'm good to go.

If we can see forest better than threes, we can conclude how is booming this new. With so many people traveling the world and with this new toll turning possible to someone in USA to cal in his mobile to UK or Germany for two cents a minute, using only a cheap cell phone like a Siemens C65, everyone can see how TELECOM Companies could be affected.
For me personally struggled in Brazil making IT offshore outsourcing from INDIA and with clients with HQ´s in USA and EU it will be lovely.
Is not a question of hardware competition with PALM or TRIO equipments?
