 Free VoIP via Skype and Bryant Park
This is a test I did Friday using a Dell Axim X3i, and the Wi-Fi hotspot at Bryant Park, NYC.
I had downloaded the free Skype software for handhelds. You are limited to contacting other people on the Skype network. It worked very well, except that the built-in microphone could have been better. It's probably preferable to use a handheld that also you to use a headset. Otherwise, it was easy to connect and make calls overseas. I made calls to Germany and Italy. I was also trying to make a contact to Antarctica, but I guess it was too early in the morning, 6 am, to get a response.
I will be writing a full review of the Axim X3i later.
Andy Abramson mentions that AT&t is announcing its new VoIP in New York today.
