Debbie was traveling on business, so we gave it a whirl last night. We liked how you can take still images from the video. Not the greatest quality in the world but still fun. And connecting is a breeze. You don't need to be a computer geek to figure it out.
But what does the future hold for Skype, which has 309 million registered users?
Parent company Ebay is considering selling it, so time will tell.
