I've not looked at skype as well for a while. I remember some news some time ago about the Windows Client and maybe even the OS X client getting SIP support. I wonder if that was passed down to mobile phone Skype clients as well? Anyone want to set up some testing? We could do a video voice and then video conference to measure bandwidth usage. I'm interested to see how much more efficant the skype protocol is vs SIP or IAX and IAX2.
