Skype USB Handyphone With Skype Onboard?

Skype USB Handyphone With Skype Onboard? 04/11/2005 11:02 AM

Japan's WellTone has a new USB Skype handset coming out which may or may not contain a version of Skype in its internal 64MB of memory. The uncertainty lies in how the company is yet to receive permission from Skype to include their software. Other than that, the "Skype USB Handyphone (WB-2001)" is your standard for a USB handset.

Skype Goes Mac

Skype Goes Mac 08/31/2004 09:24 AM
Skype just launched a public beta version of its new OS X client software. This means the Voice over IP software that has almost 10 million registered users is now on every major desktop platform -- another major step forward for the product and the people behind it. I've been playing with a pre-beta version of the OS X software, and had some difficulty. The new version does seem to be an improvement. I already have VoIP at home, but this will be quite useful when I'm traveling and find a broadband connection, among other things. At the moment, I'm finding the most intriguing feature of Skype to be its built-in encryption. Since the product also offers instant messaging, I now have something that none of the big IM vendors are bothering to offer individual end users like me: end-to-end encryption. I'm asking my IM "buddies" to consider switching to Skype for this reason. Especially when I'm on a wireless system, IM shouldn't be visible to the entire world. I had a conversation with Niklas Zennström, Skype's co-founder and CEO, yesterday. It's no secret that he has big ambitions for this product and company, and some of those ambitions are starting to be more clear. One is connecting with other kinds of gear than just PCs. Zennström told me that Skype is launching a set of APIs, or applications programming interfaces, to help hardware vendors put the product on their handsets and other equipment. He said Siemens is already doing so. I wish Skype was more open in some ways, such as using industry standards. But the company has done a lot right so far, and it's hard to argue with its achievements. (I'll have more on all this in tomorrow's column.) Skype is a true phenomenon of the Net.

IIS and Skype

IIS and Skype 02/01/2005 10:12 PM

Are you having trouble with IIS. I have been for months with Windows XP Pro workstation. I have IIS installed for development purposes. I was getting errors connecting IIS. VS.NET would inform me that my webserver was not running ASP 1.1. Telnetting to the local port, I would get garbage characters. SPYWARE? Scaned, etc... Nothing found. I looked around the web for answers and people were complaining about Norton Internet Security. So I uninstalled. Nothing.

Netstat -b will display all open ports and their originating application or listening app. I connected via telnet and looked at netstat. Skype was running on port 80? Turned off Skype. Telnet could not connect. Dammit. There is a check box in the skype options under connection which says "Use port 80 as an alternative connection point." Uncheck this. For some damn reason they have this on by default. 2 hours of my life gone.

 

Skype Out

Skype Out 06/17/2005 04:25 PM
You know what works? Skype Out. You plug a microphone and headset into your laptop (or use the built-in ones), plug your laptop into a broadband connection, pay Skype 10 euros for about 10 hours of talk time, and you can call anywhere in the world. Plain old Skype lets you call any other Skype user for free, computer to computer, but Skype Out lets you call from your computer to other people's phones. The connections have been a bit echo-y, and calls to mobile phones are way more expensive -- 4.14 minutes to the US from London cost me...

The Skype Economy

The Skype Economy 04/01/2005 10:40 PM
Do you have a product or a platform? More and more companies are recognizing that the real route to success is not to offer a product, but a platform on which other products are offered. With that in mind, we're seeing more and more products that are building up strong and active development communities that make their initial offering more useful and valuable to buyers. Recently there have been articles about the ecosystem of companies who provide enhancements for the iPod, and now some are recognizing that Skype is moving into similar territory. Of course, the risk for companies or developers who build on these newer platforms is that they're totally beholden to the provider -- and that puts them at risk. They have no control over the environment they're working in. Skype could decide to build the same functionality themselves. Or, other products could become more popular than Skype. Sometimes it works... but many companies don't realize the danger of putting all their eggs in one basket. If they pick the right platform, it can be lucrative for a while, but it's not always easy to know who's going to win.

Skype Stats

Skype Stats 12/19/2004 03:12 PM

An update on Skype's P2P voice over IP service, courtesy of Jeff Clavier:

* 13M+ users registered
* 1M+ simultaneous users reached for the first time a couple of weeks ago
* 2,384,686,217 minutes served, as I type this - i.e almost 2.4 billion minutes. Just to put things in perspective: Vonage has 170,000 customers and passed the billion minutes mark sometime in 2004
* 295,000 users have signed for SkypeOut (Skype has a goal of 5% conversion from the free service to SkypeOut)

If you haven't tried Skype, you should. The sound quality is surprisingly good, even though it uses peer-to-peer connections over the public Internet. They just announced availability of the Skype API, which will let developers build new applications and functionality on top of the platform.

I was originally dismissive of Skype, because it was free, private, and software-only. But I now thing it's a bigger deal than people realize. It's an example of how VOIP is changing the game in telecom, not just allowing in new competitors.
