Because you might actually like to make mobile phone calls?

the planet on Skype....

It is actually $0.246/min if you call his mobile phone. Since you
can call his mobile for as low as 8 cents per minute (if he's a T-Mobile
customer) with Voicestick, or for free (if he'll dial back a German
landline number) with Rebtel, it is hard to get excited about
Skype's price for that call.

If he had a tablet, we'd be talking to him for free.....(c;

However, Skype and wifi are hardly a replacement for true mobile phone
networks. What happens if you're in a call and move from one access
point to another (assuming you find one)? New AP means new IP address,
connection setup time, DHCP negotiation etc etc. Can Skype take a sudden
change of local IP address in a call? What's the servcie interruption time?
