First: I work for eBay, I'm a Skype beta tester and have helped develop/test the Skype Java API. I'm not speaking here in any official capacity. Keeping to the technology issues, Skype for mobile is targeted at Symbian and Windows mobile, Skype desktop for Linux runs on x86, its being worked on

It's nice to have rational conversation and argument about this, rather than the great amounts of handwringing which sometimes constitute the bulk of these discussions... The burden of a skype client is not primarily in the UI, most people would be happy to just have a way to run Skype on their

Apologies if this arrives twice... For starters, a friendly reminder that it's spelled sense. That said, the way to do this is not with skype, but with Asterisk. If you route ALL your incoming calls through an asterisk box (whether hosted by you, or by a service provider) it should be possible

Don't be so dismissive. It's an interesting idea. It may happen some day. But it would be pretty difficult at this point. The path would have to be pretty circuitous, the latency and odds of a dropped call would keep going up and up with each new link. I've never tried it myself, but I've

Getting it set up the way I described will require some hacking, but it's nothing very difficult. Basically, we have to make sure the default voice interface works properly with both voice and GSM, and then figure out how to make the phone establish two calls simultaneously (via gsm and wifi) and

Might it be much simpler? On my current cell phone, I can initiate a 3-way call after already talking to somebody for any amount of time. So, when you get home, have a script on the neo start a 3-way call to your home number, which will be answered by your neo's call waiting via wifi, then
