iMate Jam Observations

It would appear that Skype does not work very well with the iMate JAM even though it meets the 400Mhz processor requirements. I found it completely unusable with a SanDisk WiFi SDIO card and SkypeOut to landline numbers. I don't think its my Wireless home connection or My EsatBT 1MB broadband connection because I can use Skypeout from my ThinkPad Laptop using 802.11b Wifi with little distortion.

It seems many others are also having the same trouble

One comment on the phone edition is that there is no facilty to redial a number when engaged, my old Nokia 6610 gives an option to redial and gives a load beep when it finally gets through. Its a feature I miss when ordering my saturday night take-away from a busy chinese.

Battery life seems good so far, seems to last almost 3 days when making minimal phone calls, have no hard stats about this yet though.
