It's cheap and works well, but then again its restricted to the regular telephone net. Since I have iChat and other possibilities, I will also be patiently waiting for something to come.

For a number of reasons, but principally because I'm waiting for the standards to settle down, mature and cooperate. So far, Skype have the lead in VoIP, but they're not too interested in the open standards for VoIP, which is a shame. However, if enough smaller players all go standards compliant (which is the way to go these days) their signal to Skypes noise will force them to play nice and make the right call .. badum! Personally, I'm glad the iPhone name has been gazzumped. Maybe now we'll see the Apple marketing people earn their pay cheque for the coming quarter...
