Free Net phone Skype for PocketPC

Alexander Turcic · 09-10-2004, 11:43 AM

Skype has just released Skype for PocketPC v1.0, a free software to let PocketPC users make free unlimited Skype calls over any Wi-Fi network. Minimum requirements arePocketPC 2003 OS, obviously WiFi, and a 400 MHz processor.

Skype for PocketPC and regular Skype accounts are linked, so you can be logged on both devices at the same time and receive on both a ring if someone calls you.

As for the headset, Skype recommends Plantronics headsets for optimal quality.

I'm *very* curious to see how this works. Over at Aximsite they've been talking about it some and most mentions are positive. Once I get running I'll try it and let you know...

That is the coolest thing I've heard all day (so far). And I've heard some pretty cool crap today (so far).

Btw, if anyone's curious, I wrote a piece called VoIP 101 a while back which might help explain why this is so cool.

I like your article Sunshine. Nice summary.

Here's a good quick NYTimes article on Skype from last week.

FYI, engadget is reporting some problems (buzzing instead of voice) with Skype on two PPC product lines... Ipaq and Axim
