With the new release of Skype 2.0 users were greeted with a couple of new, although expected, features.  You can now make Skype-to-Skype calls over 3G on AT&T’s network.  This was announced sometime last year, and already in use on Verizon’s compatible devices, but just now deployed by the VoIP giant for AT&T’s iPhone users.

The long awaited app also came with some not so great news, users will soon have to pay for Skype calls made on their mobile phones.  After August of this year you will need to purchase a subscription to make calls over 3G, although WiFi calls will still remain free.  It’s hard to tell if Skype is digging themselves a grave here but lets put it this way; free is and always will be better.  Let us know what you think!

Piper Jaffray senior analyst Gene Munster just released a reports to his clients regarding the Apple’s Much Rumored Netbook. It had some calculations along with some Representations of what the actual device would be. He Said

Last week we spoke with an Asian component supplier that has received orders from Apple for a touch-screen device to be fulfilled by late [calendar year] 09,” he writes. “This data point underscores our thesis that a tablet will likely launch in early [2010].

It seems like the Rumor might be true, but we can’t say with 100% confidence, but whatever it may be i am excited. Anyways the features which might be there are -

 

  • Applications meant for iPhone will work on it + some new apps for the tablet.
  • It will be used for Internet Surfing, Digital Media and serve uses just like what iPhone did.
  • It may include a Cellular 3g modem.
  • Pricing might be between $500-$600
  • If Apple is able to sell 2 Million units for $600 each, it will easily generate $1.2 Billion which is a huge amount.
