Where Can Skype Improve?
There is indeed a lot of public praise around Skype and most of this is truly well deserved. Skype is such a uniquely effective real-time communication tool that it has indeed deserved the greatest part of the great reviews, written compliments and public commentary it has so far attracted.
Skype runs on PCs, Pocket PCs, Macs and Linux computers making this technology the ideal voice communication tool among advanced computer users.
Recently Skype has introduced some more great features including File Transfer of documents as large as 1GB and SkypeOut, an integrated facility that allow Skype users to call any phone number in the world at extremely competitive rates.
There are also some limitations in Skype which have only gotten a very small slice of press coverage.
Being an international user connected to people all around the world I have had many opportunities to thoroughly test Skype under the most varied conditions.
In order of importance these are the areas where Skype has still major margins of improvement:
