Squawk Box April 25

by alec on April 25, 2008

Today’s wrap up of the news of the week focused on microsoft yahoo and skype.

The discussion on microsoft – yahoo was about their financial results and testosterone levels… I’ll let you listen to the podcast below to get more on this.

While skype achieved its goal with their mobile release: We were talking about them and a few callers were actually getting excited about Skype again.

Enjoy the podcast and see you next week.

Alec, great talk about Skype. Its great that we are garnering so much speculation.

Just to clarify a techie point: AMR WB is used in very few cases. If you enable the technical call info in advanced settings you can see the codec info. Mostly we use our homegrown SVOPC.

I’d love to come on the box again and talk tech WRT audio / video quality ;-)
