| 640x480
640x480 isn't bad at all for skype video calls... considering that all my skype video chats are 320x240. And to get 640x480 you need a dual core processor (I think I high performance single core would work, but apparently skype limited it).
20mins. ugh. give me a couple hours atleast.
Hope to see improvements soon, this sounds like an awesome product that just needs a little more time to mature. |

1 edit | Skype needs better quality Control.
I have a Netgear WiFi Skype phone. It also is a disappointment. Great phone in concept, but when using it the poor quality, and lack or attention to detain really gets to you. Skype needs to pay closer attention to what they are willing to put their name on.

Re: Battery?
My thoughts too. The guys that designed this thing with the foreknowledge that it would have 20 minutes on a full charge should have planned to at least allow it to run indefinitely off AC.

| stupid idea.
wouldn't adding the function to th Eee Pc be a better idea?
now that other makers seem to want to get into the micro-computer space (dell, gateway, hp, etc) they need to make their produt more valuable to the consumer. we don't need new "from scratch devices".. that was so "80's and 90's"
today, multi-function is very popular. the key is getting the right combination of functions and price to have a hit. sometimes scamartist style marketing helps too... (apple's ipod comes to mind). the point being, apple didn't get where they are to today solely on the merits of the quality of it's products/services. |
