Hello Christina, you can use the PC for Skype calls. I think that this phone doesn't work with phone service.

Yes, you can Skype. The quality is great. I used it to Skype back home to my family when I was in in Iraq and in England. As long as the Internet is stable and a good speed, the Skype will work, although I use other products than Skype.

I wouldn't buy this particular tablet if you use skype a lot because it has a slow internet. It has a lot of good features, but the internet is slow. That's all I can tell you. If you are going to use skype regularly, I would look for a tablet that has more than one core, like dual core or higher. The google Nexus is more than dual core, has great internet and works fast. I think it might be available in a 9 or 10 inch model. It would be a lot more affordable than say, the Apple tablets. You can locate used and refurbished ones here on Amazon for lower prices.

I got 2. One on home PC that works great on Skype -- picture quality great and audio perfect. Work laptop I use one also for Jabber video conferencing with colleagues in US - very good also. I would recommend.

Yes, it does. Please be sure to update your software to get the most feature and benefit out of it. It's also skype friendly/compatible. Hope this helps.

Yes. The camera has a feature that lets you choose to keep the screen on when your eyes are looking at the screen. The front camera is mediocre for Skype and awful for photos.

We bought one today 1/23/2011 at Fry's Electronics in Oxnard, CAI've had no experience with netbooks so can't compare. However it is equipped sufficiently to fill our needs. We mostly wanted a decent webcam for Skype video calls. It has a 1.3Mp which looks great. The keys are flat so it will take some time to get used to it. The mouse pad works well and even though the mouse buttons are one big button it isn't bad, besides we bought a wireless mouse so we don't care about the pad too much. The screen is very bright, and the volume could be better. It seems like a nice computer. The top is a fingerprint magnet; I wonder why PC manufacturers insist on a shiny surface?

I don't use Skype, so I really can't answer that. You might want to email the seller or something and ask.

"Best?" ? Who knows which webcam is best for your needs? But let me quote a couple of the reviews of this webcam:"....I purchased 4 of these Logitech 961400-0403 Quickcams for use with friends over Skype because of the price, performance and features. The resolution is very good for VOIP,...."".... Once I figured out how to adjust the resolution, it has worked well with SKYPE and...."

Yes it does. To use it for skype you will need to set up a 'hands free device' profile. It works well with skype

This laptop has a built-in camera and microphone. On the hardware side, everything is there for Skype. You will have to download Skype, which means you will need a Microsoft account if you don't already have one.

This device is best suited for someone who needs to use Skype or voip on PC. If you only need it for mobile phone go with the one you mentioned
