Skype has just released a new beta version (2.2) of their software for PPC's.
From the
forum announcement it looks like the new version can better utilize low-clock speed CPUs (like the one in the ever-popular 8125) in addition to better Today screen integration and personalization options.
If you don't already know, Skype allows free calls to landlines through the end of 2006 - which means you still have nearly 20 days to try out this service!
**Skype uses your data connection to make voice calls; be sure to have an unlimited data plan!**

**Known issues with the beta running on ppc phone editions
here:
The biggest two seem to be 1) Audio comes out over the external speakers, not the phone speaker. (They recommend you use a wired headset) and 2) Bluetooth headsets are (mostly) not compatible at this time.
[update] while free SkypeOut expires at the end of this year, you can get a full 12 months of unlimited calls to anyone in the US and Canada, landline or cellphone, for only $14.95! This special 50% off pricing is only available until January 31, 2007, so act now!
