I'm guessing the vast majority of Skype users don't care about anything except free calls.

If it lets you talk to people without paying anything (or by paying a substantially cheaper rate on SkypeOut), then that's probably all that most people would be looking for.

Video chat would definitely be a very popular feature with mainstream audiences, and it's surprising they haven't included that in the tablet version, but it's the voice calls that are the star.

And unlike the PC version of Skype, you can actually walk round the house with the tablet so you can talk in private, or keep it near you so you can receive calls.

Erm... what does that actually mean?
