Skype downloads 30,001,883, 15 minutes later. That's 7,500 per hour. That's more downloads per minute than CDMA phones are selling. See skype.com for the latest figures. QUALCOMM shareholders are making money now from Livedoor's marketing efforts for Eudora: eudora.livedoor.com If CDMA phones incorporate WiFi, 1xEV-DO etc, then if the cyberphone is good enough to download Skype for mobiles [which will happen one of these days], then CDMA subscribers will be able to make Skype calls to anywhere and only pay for the link to their service provider, plus any SkypeOut charges [currently about US2c a minute to most landlines around the world and to USA mobile phones]. Skype calls from computer to computer are free. If the call is from a cyberphone with Skype installed, then there would be only the air interface service provider's data charges to be paid. Verizon has a walled garden approach, so some company is going to have to allow phones to run Skype. It could be a BREW download, I suppose. It's going to be very good that QUALCOMM included Internet Protocol [IP] so voice over internet protocol [voip] can be done. Voip is going to be very big time. Mqurice
