    AT&T Network Restrictions

    AT&T and their 29.99 monthly fee are blocking Skype Calls and limiting bandwidth for video. In fact the ABC app doesn't work on 3G. They better do something about this as people will not stand for it.

    They just came out with an update for the ABC app. It now works over 3G now and does landscape view among other things.

    It will take a while before all the sites get their acts together. 3G has only been out for a few days and each vendor has got to spend time to improve the sites ability to stream.

    Well AT&T speed is pretty bad from the benchmarks I've seen so I wouldn't expect much from video quality.

    I'm watching the ABC stream right now on 3G and it looks pretty darn good! I was just about to dump the app because I'm never on WiFi.

    I am actually very impressed with the quality of the 3G video from the abc app. Considering it's over a wireless connection and they dumb down the quality it still is very impressive and smooth. Of course I happen to live in an area that has very strong att 3G so YMMV. I for one am a very happy 3G owner. Now the wait for hulu and the gifts it brings.

    The guy in the video blames AT&T for Skype not working on 3G but the AT&T restriction has been lifted. The lack of 3G is Skype's fault. A lot of people on Skype's forum are blaming this on Skype's deal with Verizon. I don't know enough about this to make a comment but this time we can't blame AT&T for Skype's lack of 3G support.

    I know Skype has a beta version that was shown on iPhone OS 4. Other than its multi-tasking abilities I know little else about it.
