Is there any Skype software for my Treo 600 phone, please? Clare Nesbitt
There is an 18-month-old petition asking Skype to support Palm devices at www.petitionspot.com, but there's no sign that it will. You could use EQO for Skype software (www.eqo.com), which connects a mobile to Skype but, as far as I can see, only via a PC. Also check out the iSkoot beta (www.iskoot.com). However, there may be better options. MobiVoIP (mobivoip.net) claims to have the first VoIP software for PalmOS, while UK-based Hampton Software offers Articulation (www.hamptonsoftware.co.uk).
Backchat: Dave Beck says: "I have and use [iSkoot] successfully in the UK on my Treo 650. It has the signifi cant advantage over the two VoIP implementations you mentioned, Articulation and MobiVoIP, in that it only uses the data path (GPRS) to setup the destination of the call and uses normal 'local minutes' to carry the voice, no matter where the destination. Clare should ignore that the UK in not listed in the supported countries: my calls route via an 0208 number, automatically set when you configure the application. She can also look at Mino and Jajah."
