One of the letdowns of the product is that you need to have WiFi (wireless network) connection to be able to call local numbers. Voice delivery over EDGE is not permitted (or maybe not possible? I don’t have a clear idea yet.).

Don’t forget that you can call other users over the wireless network for free. The features that were available in the desktop version are also available in the iPhone app too.

So, the other details and user experience for Skype for iPhone application are as follows:

• When you enter your username and password and successfully login they will not be asked again.
• Sound quality: Sound quality is way better than a normal phone if you call another Skype user. However, if you call a local number instead, the sound quality will be the same as of a phone’s.
• You can write and send messages through EDGE but can’t make any calls. That is to say you can login to the system to see and message with people who are online but it gives you a warning message when you want to make a call.
• The application doesn’t work on the background. In order for you to get a Skype call, you need to leave the application on at all times. The screensaver being on doesn’t provide an obstacle; you can still get your calls and messages.

My opinion: Is a must for all iPhone users to have it on their phones.

As a result of this leap taken in the Game Developers Conference taking place in San Francisco, PhysX technology has gained even more strength with two parallel platform game engines it has incorporated.

The first of the engines’ name is BigWorld Technology 2.0. The engine, specifically used for MMOG type games and virtual world applications, will be used with many new games including Stargate Worlds. It is also said that another popular game is in the works by Sierra Online which uses the same engine.

Another engine which is incorporated by PhysX technology is Trinigy Vision Engine 7. Known game developers such as Ubisoft, Firefly, Take 2, Neowiz, Dreamcatcher and Spellbound are known to be using Trinigy.
