    And no :D

    You might want to bear in mind too that what Amazon provides with the free 3G worldwide is primarily the ability to buy books wherever you are, access to other sites is some kind of bonus (for now, until people start abusing the system). If you read the T&Cs, it does say that they can change or withdraw the service altogether at anytime.

    There are some jailbreak hacks that you can use to enable teh mike for recording, just google Kindle Microphone Hacks, however I dont think anyone has managed to get it working on Skype yet.
