I have been using Skype for a while now. I really like it as a chat client, and think that the program's VOIP qualities are simply superb. One of the toys I bought for my mother in law, who calls overseas quite a bit, is the USB US Robotics phone for Skype. It works great...lots of interactivity between Internet-ready phones and land/cell-lines.
However, these new iPhones (not an Apple moniker), are supposed to be really freaking cool. They will use Skype features, but will also rely upon WIFI hotspots to catch a signal, and then do VOIP over the particular LAN. Very cool stuff, and very cool thinking...
