Skyped Out

Hey Reg, he's my buddy. Actually, my very good tech buddy. Everyone needs one of those. So how's Skype working, on at that Fido/Rogers iphone? Rogers and Fido are the providers of iPhone service, in Canada.

Skype is, world's largest phone company. Except it isn't a phone company, as we know phone companies. Skype lets you make cheap calls, over and through the internet, and now via wifi, with the iphone.

Now, I know, any new iphone app is a stop the presses moment. However, Skype mobile is also on a host of other cell phones, too. Phones that don't have a wifi connection. You know, lower tech phones, which are less smart, than smart phones, and whole bunch less expensive!

Skype came to the iphone yesterday, in a limited Apple command and control sort of way, via wifi only. Well sort of, Skype for the iphone is every where on the planet, expect Canada.

Another example of the progressive thinking that infects Canadian life. Rogers is afraid. Really afraid it'll lose money. Skype on cell networks is working well in Europe. No phone companies going broke there. Just another example of the way things work, in Canada. Well off the leading edge that's for sure.

So Reg how is Skype, on that iphone working for ya. Working around it with Fring? Or this maybe? Just wondering? Skype me!
