What's the Hype about Skype?

I have decided to design a P2P [Peer to Peer] IM/Telephony/Video application built to compete directly with Skype. Why you ask? Because the public needs to understand why open standards is a much better solution than proprietary offerings. Here is a glimpse of what I have included in the design of this application.. :Þ SIMPLE based IM with Enhanced Features :Þ SIP Telephony with Enhanced Features :Þ SIP Video Conferencing and Video Streaming :Þ Multiple Platforms [Windows, MAC OSX, Pocket PC, Linux] :Þ Intuitive Design with "Drag and Drop" Controls :Þ Audio and Video Tuner :Þ Peer to Peer based Presence Mgt. :Þ Acoustic Echo Cancellation :Þ Audio and Video QOS Controls :Þ Auto-configuration :Þ Encryption :Þ NAT and Firewall Traversal :Þ PSTN and Cellular Interconnect Capability :Þ AudioToons [Canned audio clips] :Þ SIP SPAM Filters :Þ SDK/APIs for Windows, MAC, Linux Want something included, post your comment here.
