What is Skype's voice quality, and its viability for someone who uses 800-900 min/mo?

From a quick web search, it doesn't sound like the iPad's bluetooth setup will support audio in. Figures.

You can already use Skype with wifi on pretty much everything else (computer, smartphone, etc.), and I've never seen anyone doing that on an airplane.

I used to use Skype on my PSP, worked great! >$3 per month.

Seems like if someone was willing to pay that much money for an iPad, they'd want 4G (Sprint or Verizon), not shitty AT&T 3G service.

will prolly be getting that early next yr, when my contract is up for renewal (sprint)

may use the "hot spot" feature and do away w/ the AT&T service

saw an article recently that sums it up

the ipad is not a must have, but i'd miss it if we didn't have it.

still use it almost as much as when we first got it, and Z loves playing scrabble against her friends, so much so that she added a scrabble game to her droid phone.
