Skype leaves voice calling out of beta for Windows Mobile Smartphones

Skype has finally released a beta of their VoIP software for Windows Mobile-powered Smartphones (a
version for Pocket PCs has been around since last year). The catch? You can't actually use it to make voice calls, something which pretty much defeats the purpose of having Skype on your cellphone in the first place (though you can use the beta app to do instant messaging with your Skype contacts). So why'd they leave such a central feature out of the beta? They say it's because the "CPU power and network connectivity of currently available phones" simply aren't sufficient for making Skype voice calls.
