More than 3,000 Radio Shack locations nationwide on Monday will begin offering the Skype Starter Kit, which includes the software that enables a customer to use Skype’s free computer-to-computer telephone service, a headset and 30 minutes of Skype’s premium service, with which a user can call a landline or cell phone, company executives said.

I just purchased a Dell Axim x51v, which I will run the pocket Skype on. If it works well, it will give me a free phone (or a low-cost pc-to-pstn phone) at all free WiFi locations. We will see how it works in reality.
I am a great fan of Skype. My parents just got DSL service in Turkey. Had a Skype chat with them this morning. Great voice quality. Skype definitely set the bar at a high mark for all VoIP solutions out there.
I will also experiment with Video Skype soon (using Festoon). Need another person with the same setup to try it. Anyone interested ?

I may be interested. Let me know how the experiment goes.
