Tiny glimmer of hope that Skype is coming to webOS 36

The gold medal for your Online Special Olympics victory has been withdrawn because you cant even spell "first" correctly.

That is a question I would like to know also.

Good bye, webOS does not need haters posting on their fansite. Also android sucks. I have used every android device except this 4g evo and still cant seem to enjoy it.

People want Skype so they could (a) make international calls at dirt cheap rates, and (b) be able to voice/text Chat with other Skype users, and (c) avoid cellphone minutes by chatting over EVDO/WiFi.

If you ask, "why would anyone want to voice chat over Skype when they can just call?" or "why would anyone want to text chat when they can just SMS?", you'd need to ask the same question about AIM or Yahoo messenger or Google Chat. There are lots of ways to text/voice. But if your friends/family are particularly using one kind of text/voice program, you want to use that too. I have colleagues at work who use Skype to text chat (work-related discussions). Skype allows "groups" and has history, so no matter where I log in, I can catch-up on all the old discussion. It's like real-time email. Google Chat keeps history, but doesn't support groups. AIM and Yahoo don't keep history (and I don't think they support groups either).

Skype has a Call Forwarding feature that forwards your incoming Skype calls--both regular Skype calls, as well as calls to your online number (if you have one)--to any phone number of your choice. You don't even have to leave Skype signed in on your computer if you don't want to, although if you do have it open, you can set it to try your computer first, and then redirect to your forwarding number after a number of seconds if you don't answer there (you can choose how long). The cost of the call to whatever number you're forwarding to is the same as if you dialed that number yourself manually from Skype. If you have a Skype subscription that includes unlimited calls to the area that the number you're forwarding to is in, then the calls forwarded to that number will be unlimited too (in other words, free if you already have a paid unlimited subscription). The only cost per call/minute you'd have, if any, is whatever you'd normally pay to answer any other call on the phone you're forwarding calls to (for example, you might use minutes on your cell phone plan). If your friends in Peru are calling you directly from Skype on their computers, all they have to do is call your Skype name and it's free for them too--it doesn't matter on their end that you're forwarding calls to another number; it's just a Skype to Skype call for them. Although, I believe the Skype client tells them that the call is being forwarded to another number.

You can enable call forwarding in the options menu in the Skype client itself, or by logging into your account on skype.com. To forward calls to your Pre, simply tell Skype to forward your incoming calls to your cell phone number. Enter it in the standard international format, for example: +18165551212

I have an unlimited US and Canada subscription, as well as a Skype online number in Campinas, Brazil. I have Skype set up to forward my incoming calls to my US cell phone number. My friend in Brazil can either call me directly from Skype on her computer, or call my online number from any phone, and either way my cell phone rings just like any other call and I can answer it and talk. Since calls to my cell phone are included, unlimited, in my Skype subscription, I just see a whole bunch of calls to my cell phone number for $0.00 in my Skype call history.

Sorry for the late/long reply. Hope it helps.
