I don't have a PocketPC PDA, mine is Palm. But regardless, I don't see what all the "Hype" is with "Skype." It is a closed protocol and highly platform-restricted product. Sure the concept of a peer-to-peer phone network is interesting, but if not everyone can connect to it, what is the point? If they want to keep certain features under their control so that they can eventually charge for it, then by all means do so. But if they would release the basic protocol specs, so that others can access the network in general, they would see many more users.
I for one am not going to run yet another soft phone and/or IM client on my system just to connect to yet another phone network. A friend of mine and I tried it when it first came out, and it worked about as well as FWD, or IAXTel, or Firefly, or... You get the point. Now if I could attach my Asterisk server to it and be able to make and receive simple voice calls with other users, that would be great. I don't need hotlist functionality, if I dial their number and they aren't on, I get a busy reorder signal. No big deal. They definitely have a good idea, in the fact that it works, doesn't have too many problems with firewalls, and is not server reliant. But keeping it closed is preventing a lot of people from joining them. -----Original Message----- From: Jason A.
