Review: Memory Stick for iPhone
Because of Apple-imposed limitations, the iPhone can't currently function as a true thumb drive. Memory Stick approximates something pretty similar, but not without some frustrating flaws.

Skype 4.0 is out. http://www.skype.com/downloa... Looks great so far. Discuss your experiences here:
Lecter, Susan Beebe, Jannifer @wordsforliving and 35 other people liked this
It is quite different UI. Took a few minutes to figure out where everything is, but now that I'm used to it I like it a lot.
- Robert Scoble
Great improvements. Quick install, lightweight design and much better video call quality - at least on the one call that I made!
- Manuel
I do like the UI, need more time to check it out, but first impressions are quite good, thx for the news, Robert!
- Sylwia Presley
Latest Mac version is still 2.8 BETA :/
- Marek
Skype 2.8 Beta for OSX - will it get this new Skype 4.0 Win codec set? Product feature divergence between platforms is ... worrisome.
- Dossy Shiobara
For those who prefer multiwindow mode - there's a special button in top-right corner, near minimize/maximize/close buttons.
- Боря
can´t see any interesting changes yet. should test a conf video call all together
- Cem Dalgic
I have been using the beta for a while... I haven't been impressed with the UI.
- Mike Wills
I tried the beta some months ago, and was not taken with the new UI, might try it again, see if I take to it
- Carl Grint
I've been running 4.0 beta for quite some time now. Works fine here, and on Win 7 too. I use it for both IM, and for phone calls. MUCH cheaper than a landline (got rid of that some years ago, so stop sending me crap to get me to join up AT&T. I don't want your overpriced suckage).
- Ian May
I think once you get used to the UI it's more logical, and more compact, and everything is easier to get to.

The SILK codec, its features and future implementations: http://tinyurl.com/c2krat
- Jim Courtney
I like it so far except for the fact that my Outlook contacts are no longer listed in my Skype Contact list even though I have the option selected.
- April
Love the cool new look. Going to take it for a test drive w/video skype later today.
- Deborah E. Bifulco
I've installed and set to compact mode, like the new UI. Not tried any calls/chat yet.
- Nigel Kitchen
The UI is significantly changed from beta 1, especially the compact or default viewing options.
- Jim Courtney
I know this is a little OT but are Skype developing a client for the iPhone?
- Nigel Kitchen
Video is still one-to-one; Skype has yet to announce plans as to if, or when, they will have multi-party video.
- Jim Courtney
it's so big!!
- siggimus
I have a skype app on my Blackberry, it's called iSkoot. Makes it easy to make free calls around the world.
- Ian May
myspace link ... for real? people still use myspace?
- tracy
Any MAC version scheduled?
- Christian
What a pity not to have the multi videoconference, better UI!
- roberto
Mac got a new beta not so long ago. Bought us screen sharing.
- Simon Wicks
Wasn't there a multiparty video option in some Skype beta (or maybe it was an addin)?
- Brian Sullivan
No mac love at skype. :(
- felix
Multiparty video is really hard to do though -- just not enough bandwidth in most cases.
- Brian Sullivan
we have been providing full duplex video/audio collaboration for 8 and upwards ( WhiteBaord, File Browser, SlideShows, Calendar, Quiz and now integrating with some big names in Document Share and Collaboration, entirely browser based since 2005 - http://tinyurl.com/bmxjc4

PS: we even integrate with SKYPE, so you can call Timbuktoo from within your internet video collaborative experience.
- atul abraham
from twhirl
Few lame things... Version only for Windows. Not for Mac or Linux, even in BETA. You're very limited in the conversation window customization, so group chats can be difficult to follow. Alternating background or text colors would be nice. When you separate a discussion window and maximize it, the conversation history and text area does not maximize to full width. It stays at a fixed width of around 700px. Other than that, the UI is pretty nice and there seem to be some good improvements. Overall... it's OK.
- James Morris
something I have always found to be really shoddy is with your credit "It doesn't expire, but if you don't use it within a certain time frame you lose it".. um that *is* expiry you dolts!
- alphaxion
sad that for Mac it just 2.08 beta
- Yuri Vilnid
I'm going to try it now
- Manuela
In WinXP SP3, the Camera/Video settings do NOT change from WebCamMax (one of the video drivers I have), even tho all available options appear in dropdown menu. Changing it to CamSplitter should work, but Skype 4 wont take the click. Going back to v3 until fixed got to have the splitter working)
- CLC Radio
Also agree with April's assesment, have Outlook contacts checked, but they dont show up - this is a deal breaker until fixed. I dont wait for fixes like this AFTER an install, I just uninstall and GO BACK. As should we all. We are not Omega testers!
- CLC Radio
CLC Radio - i have only commented on someoens opinion that duplex video is tough. Since when is a relevant post spam ?
- atul abraham
from twhirl
Skype's site redesign put the Contact Us link in the About Us page - stupid.
- CLC Radio
I admit it. For some reason, never went there. Will download tonight. Thanks Robert (and welcome back .... :)
- Charlie Anzman
atul, may I quote: "we have been providing full duplex video/audio collaboration for 8 and upwards ( WhiteBaord, File Browser, SlideShows, Calendar, Quiz and now integrating with some big names in Document Share and Collaboration, entirely browser based since 2005 - http://tinyurl.com/bmxjc4 - atul abraham via twhirl" What part of the link isnt spam - the link doesnt tak us to a product page, just a search engine site (at least it looks that way)
- CLC Radio
also, "PS: we even integrate with SKYPE, so you can call Timbuktoo from within your internet video collaborative experience. - atul abraham via twhirl"
- CLC Radio
still at 2.0 for linux :(
- Mihai Secasiu
CLCRadio - you arrived at a product demo page, where I watched you log in and out, twice, im not sure what part of a video collaboration room can look like a "search engine site" or one that looks like an SE site.
- atul abraham
from twhirl
CLCRadio im not interested to carry on an empty back and forth with you, load the URL properly or keep your comments about me to yourself.Peace, AA
- atul abraham
from twhirl
If you are not interested in "back and forth", you need not post. Loading a link properly? If you mean, clicking on the tinutrl you provided, that is what I tried. I shall attempt again. This time I will cut and paste the link into another browser, as this is necessary sometimes due to improper parsing of tinyurl (they soemtimes use ilegal characters in their urls, rare, but it does occur)
- CLC Radio
atul, I just now was auto-logged on as "FF" with some ******* password - THIS is the first time I logged in. Obviously someone else decided to use "CLCRadio" those 2 times as a username. I can't help that. When clicking the tinyurl link you provided from within friendfeed, I get the search engine page I mentioned before. This is all just FYI, and not meant as a comment on you (some comment was necessary just to figure out what is wrong with tinyurl and let them know about the parsing issue)
- CLC Radio
I downloaded, updated and found I was still running 3.8 ...
- Gary Thom
I just need to say right away here and now, although my techniques for getting a hold of an issue are rather rude at times (I know this), I need to publicly acknowledge Atul Abraham as officially NOT a spammer. I have recently discovered that certain tinyurls do not parse well in SeaMonkey browser, and often is required of us SM users to refresh from tinyurls and other url sqaushers. Atul's video conf product looks very promising , is free to use, but Atul is not a spammer! No way!
- CLC Radio
woah ! thnx Dan !
- atul abraham
from twhirl
hah, I just dl'ed the beta a few days ago (and I liked it a lot!). Getting the non-beta now.
- Chieze Okoye
They released the 2.8 beta for Mac not long ago, that has features that aren't in the 4.0 Windows version. So there *is* some Mac love @ Skype.
- Chris Dahl
I had used the 4.0 beta, but global hotkeys were broken. I installed the 4.0 release today, but haven't tried the hotkeys yet.
- Joey Gibson
It is much better now.
