The thing that anoie's me is that we shouldnt have to be doing all the work ourselves. I am so dissapointed that Blackberry have hardley any usefull apps that you can get with their phones etc. One of the first things i searched for on the app store was Skype, MSN, Whatsapp. All three of them have not been developed for the Playbook. 

I could go on but I won't. Don't get me wrong I love my PB, but there is much room for improvment.

I can see them developing the PB2 with all the fetures we wish for the current one, its a little harsh for the people who have bought the original PB if you ask me.

Anyway, there was my rant lol.

One that does all the work for you, apparently.   Can't wait.

www.faceflow.com is every bit as good as skype. You access it through your browser. It is the same as skype. Skype can only talk to skype. Faceflow can only talk to Faceflow. Ask your fiends to join, it's free. The benefit is that it allows conference calling (you have to pay for that if you want to do that on skype).

Playbook to PC. PC to playbook. No app yet, but the developers are almost there. Make a favourites in the browser.

Hope this helps
