Skype Gripe CounterSkype

Jonathan Greene who blogs on many things digital has a viewpoint on his blog about Skype complainers.

For the record Jonathan and I had a Skype call last night, first on my laptop with a Labtec mic, then on the Pocket PC using Skype 1.0. The quality on both was fine, with the laptop near perfect. Obviously the lack of a suitable mic on the PPC was the issue there.

Then I ordred a pizza on Skype Out on the PPC and it all went to crap. I hung up and then called the pizza parlor over AT&T’s CallVantage and the call, like the pizza was delivered perfectly. Roasted red pepper, mushrooms, cheese melted perfectly. For San Diego, my local ex-NY pizza guys deliver what’s expected. Skype Out on the PPC didn’t.
