Description:
Skype for Pocket PC is a free software that enables you to make Skype voice calls using your WiFi-enabled Microsoft Pocket PC based handheld computer from any WiFi hotspot.
Skype is the next phenomenon from the people who brought you KaZaA. Just like KaZaA, Skype uses P2P (peer-to-peer) technology to connect you to other users – not to share files this time, but to talk and chat with your friends.
The technology is extremely advanced – but super simple to use... You’ll be making free phone calls to your friends in no time!
Features:
- Free unlimited worldwide phone calls to other Skype users.
- Superior sound quality – better than your regular phone.
- Works with all firewall, NAT and routers – nothing to configure!
- Friends list shows you when your Skype friends are online and ready to talk or chat.
- Super-simple and easy to use.
- Your calls are encrypted “end-to-end” for superior privacy.
- Based on cutting edge peer-to-peer technology developed by the creators of Kazaa and Joltid.
