How's that? As for running both clients - yes you could do that but it isn't as elegant and it requires 2 ids. I was thinking of a service that gives you a single id and manages the two seperate ids for you (as part of the total solution). Plus it would be able to show a single phone number to the PSTN for caller ID purposes, etc. Yes, you can in fact get free NA calling as described, but I was shooting for a single service - and making a sideways remark about how these companies are dancing around which one will break down and just offer free inbound and outbound first....

Run both Skype and AIM at the same time and then use Skype to call out to PSTN and answer the incoming PSTN call using AIM. Use the native client for all other contacts. Won't this work? Let us prove that the End is indeed smart by "disintermediating" the disintermediators. :-) I don’t see a need for mashup or for that matter synchronizing contact list.
