Move over Palringo, Fring is here

From Mauricio's post I just signed up for and downloaded a new IM/Skype client for my Windows mobile device. Having only recently removed Palringo (which was a cute concept but not overly useful) I am being a bit critical of messaging/VoIP clients...

It's now the 5th day since I announced my attempts at the Skype Challenge and by all accounts I feel that I'm failing. That said, I'm going to keep persisting and attempting to reduce my phone dependency. Here's a few thoughts on where technology is currently...

Palringo - I don't understand the name let alone the concept...

I saw this post across on the Modaco feed referencing a product called Palringo and despite a number of comments to the effect that it is a cool product I just don't get it. So last weekend I was talking about the Skype Challenge (more on that later)...

More Skype Challengers

Skype WiFi phones - WTF?

Phase 1 of my Skype Challenge is almost complete - I handed back the i-mate SPL I was borrowing so I'm now without a Windows Mobile device (I still have my SIM card in an old Esicsson phone until I get around to sorting out my voicemail etc). I must admit...

The Skype Challenge

This morning I was flipping through the Sunday Times (for the most part this paper is little more than an abstract collection of ads with a bit of sports trivia appended to the end) and noticed a Post-it note attached to the front of the paper: I thought...

Skype Find and More

Yesterday I downloaded the latest version of Skype (the next version talks about being able to invite non-Skype contacts, which would be very cool - unfortunately it is only in beta and VERY unstable). Instead of going with the standard options I decided...
