Here are some features that I'm waiting for:
- webcam capability, once you add that, MSN is gone
- a server based contact list]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/11/08/the-engadget-interview-niklas-zennstrom/http://www.engadget.com/2004/11/08/the-engadget-interview-niklas-zennstrom/Dec 19th 2005 12:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/11/08/the-engadget-interview-niklas-zennstrom/http://www.engadget.com/2004/11/08/the-engadget-interview-niklas-zennstrom/Dec 19th 2005 12:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/11/08/the-engadget-interview-niklas-zennstrom/http://www.engadget.com/2004/11/08/the-engadget-interview-niklas-zennstrom/Dec 19th 2005 12:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/11/08/the-engadget-interview-niklas-zennstrom/http://www.engadget.com/2004/11/08/the-engadget-interview-niklas-zennstrom/Dec 19th 2005 12:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/11/08/the-engadget-interview-niklas-zennstrom/http://www.engadget.com/2004/11/08/the-engadget-interview-niklas-zennstrom/

if somebody with Microsoft powered cellphones needs help then call me over Skype at "msmobiles" ID or click:

The photo of the guy in the article doesn't look anything like that, he looks like a decent looking guy to me.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/11/08/the-engadget-interview-niklas-zennstrom/http://www.engadget.com/2004/11/08/the-engadget-interview-niklas-zennstrom/]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/11/08/the-engadget-interview-niklas-zennstrom/http://www.engadget.com/2004/11/08/the-engadget-interview-niklas-zennstrom/But the question I had was how is this different from making voice conversations in Yahoo Messenger and MSN Messenger...and how is this different from net2phone and lots of other services that were/are able to call regular phone lines from the internet?
Thanks.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/11/08/the-engadget-interview-niklas-zennstrom/http://www.engadget.com/2004/11/08/the-engadget-interview-niklas-zennstrom/Dec 19th 2005 12:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/11/08/the-engadget-interview-niklas-zennstrom/http://www.engadget.com/2004/11/08/the-engadget-interview-niklas-zennstrom/
- they seem to accept cards issued only in the same country where you are at the moment (they seem to check IPs or what) => if you are travelling or working abroad and need credit for SkypeOut, bad luck.

- they refuse credit cards from many countries without reason (e.g. Spain). However there is no list published or anything, so you discover this only after your account gets blocked.

- there is absolutely no way to discover what's wrong with the payment - the support is not helpful, takes ages to get to you (long queues) and they blame the problem alternatively on the CC processor or customer's bank, even though both say that everything is OK and the problem is with Skype. I have got four payments refused or canceled like this, even though the bank authorized it. After several attempts they just block your account and you cannot buy the SkypeOut credit at all for some time. Just great.

Just check out the forums on www.skype.com, there are literaly hundreds of similar complaints and nothing is done for long time. They should get their act together, because if they do not want my money, if though I willing to part with it, it is pretty strange business model. Heck, it is just stupid 25 Euro max, it is not like I wanted to defraud you of several thousands of Euro ...

On the other hand, the free PC-to-PC service is great.

Such a system is known as "Remote Base."

One system seems to be a spin-off from another innovative Swedish system - albeit receive-only - originally known as JavaRadio.

The last "Remote Base" I used (VK3UR's, in Victoria, I think) conveys the audio between radio & remote user via a Skype voice connection.

Where is the Skype Developer's kit, apparently used to integrate Skype into this innovative application?]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/11/08/the-engadget-interview-niklas-zennstrom/http://www.engadget.com/2004/11/08/the-engadget-interview-niklas-zennstrom/Dec 19th 2005 12:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/11/08/the-engadget-interview-niklas-zennstrom/http://www.engadget.com/2004/11/08/the-engadget-interview-niklas-zennstrom/I spent hours trying to make a payment, but all creditcards are refused, without explanation.
Just see the thousands complaining for months in the Skypeforum
http://forum.skype.com/bb/viewforum.php?f=19&sid=ef7ed62d9c858597d2921a8f4ac4b627

The support is useless and waist of time, they seem to be cheap robots.

And Mr. Niklas Zennstr?Nothing, no comments.

For sure, there are no millions custommers, just some thousands of annoyed and disgusted people who tried it and are running away by now.
Well deserved punishment for iresponsible "enterpreneurs" like Mr. Niklas Zennstr?
