Nope. oovoo = resource hog.

It does the job.

Edit: What's with the post order b0rkage?

Heavy breathing incoming....

I use Skype as my primary phone. For $6 a month, you can't beat it. I have a GE 2-in-1 phone with built-in Skype firmware.

I've never used it before, but its preinstalled on the Eee I bought so I figured I'd give it a try and see how it works.

 

[SupaDupaPan]

Eyetoy for webcam :]

I just downloaded oovoo.

I can't figure out if the developers are being paid off, or if they're just dense.

You need a dual core CPU to do high resolution (640x480) WTH? It is also using a ridiculously unacceptable amount of CPU in standard resolution right now.

And it's noise cancellation sucks too.

it was cooler before ebay bought it when most calls were free

 

[TruePaige]

Built in webcam on my dell xps 1330

 

[Q]

I just use my laptop webcam though I've never actually used my webcam on skype before

It's still free if both persons use Skype, but for 2 cents a minute Asia to N America, I can't't complain.

The only excuse for that would be that it's using some kind of insane compression scheme.

 

[Jschmuck2]

Can I do unlimited calls to mobile phones with this?

I don't know if it is their setup or not, but the calls I've gotten from Bangkok over Skype have horrible VQ.
