Skype Reviewed
People keep asking me about Skype, and whether they should try it out. This
review of Skype is well balanced, pointing out some of the obvious and not-so-obvious flaws.
From my own experience, my broadband connection, which makes use of Wifi technology, suffers from very high latency, and hence renders Skype unusable.
If it's usable on dialup, I'd be interested in hearing about that.

Antony in Australia tried SkypeOut - and called me at my work number (using his pocketpc - gadgetfreak!). Anyway, bottom line was that he could hear me well, but he was terribly broken up. Which seems odd, given that he was effectivly making a long distance phone call over normal phone lines.
As per usual with these conversations, it was along the lines of "hi can you hear me?", "what did you say? You're breaking up", "I can't hear you" etc etc
