Choosing Mac-Compatible Skype Hardware

Dear Joe,

Hello again. Just saw that miglia has also released a wireless skype phone (Dialog+ ). I had such a bad experience with their Evolution TV software and ensuing (blatant lying from) customer support that I will never buy from them again. I even emailed with the president of the company who just insisted I had had a great experience with their customer service since the software developer had tried so hard to help me. The app was not UB even though they insisted it was and did not run on my MBP. I lost several day's worth of time over 2 weeks testing the latest build of a plugin only to have it not work. Finally the developer found out the core was not UB! Then Miglia admitted they tested everything on a G5 and never on an intel mac! They were not even apologetic about falsely advertising their product.

 I was in the USA and wanted to convert my laser disk collection and could not. Now I have everything is storage and found using EyeTV software solves the problem and has better picture quality too. Basically I hate Miglia, but, the stuff should get thoroughly reviewed:


best,


PT

Re: Choosing Mac-Compatible Skype Hardware

I just got rid of my landline completely at the end of July by switching to T-Mobile's Wi-Fi plan, HotSpotHome.

Since I live up in the mountains and T-Mobile's cell coverage or any cell for that matter is very weak, I never thought I'd be able to eliminate the landline. I'm very thrilled that I was finally able to do it.

Needless to say, one of the best things is that it does not matter whether you are on a Mac or PC.
