#: Central Contacts List

#: Promote Add To Contacts
#: toolbar added to call tab
#: File Transfer - ability to select multiple files to send
#: putting SkypeIn and SkypeOut calls on hold

#: improved voice quality
#: improved connectivity on XP SP2
#: Options dialog - usability improvements

I would be all over this if they had the area code I need. As it is, my free cell phone minutes don't start until 9:00PM local time and the person who calls me (every day) lives one time zone to the east. That means that phone conversations don't start until 10:00PM for her. I have SkypeOut, and I use it but it'd be even cheaper to use SkypeIn and have her call a local number. I hope they add more area codes soon.


 
Arrghhhh....Bloger is not working again. What a nightmare.


 
I thought Gmail was the one in beta? ;)
