Be quick to win one of Laptop magazine's Skype bundles...

Now, the title of Laptop Magazine is slightly misleading, in that it actually covers a whole range of mobile devices - "mobile solutions for business & life", as their tagline puts it. Bearing this in mind, the thinking behind their latest offer is more obvious: they are offering 10 SMC Wifi phone and Fon Router combo packs to their Canadian and US-based readers and online users. But hurry, as the promotion ends on the 15th May.
Rumour has it there may be a firmware upgrade coming out for SMC's Skype wifi phone soon, so this offer from Laptop Magazine is very well timed! To win one of these bundles, currently selling for $159.99 in the US Skype Store, you just have to answer a simple question:
Where is the craziest place you would set up a WiFi connection and make a Skype or VoIP call?
With so many wifi networks out there, I'm hoping that Laptop magazine will get some great responses to this. I've been trying for a while to use Thamesonline's wifi connection which allegedly will allow me to make Skype calls whilst using the river services on the Thames - but so far without success
In the meantime, I find hotspot-locations.com a great way to find both free and paid-for wifi hotspots; it's amazing how many free ones there are if you take the time to ferret them out. Another useful resource is the well-established jiwire site. You'll be pleased to know, for example, that the tiny Pacific Island of Vanuatu has not just 1 but 2 wifi hotspots to call its own.
