Default XDA Mini with Skype Mobile? Also what is Wifi Range

Hi everyone Im new to this forum and I've three questions.

1. Does anyone use the XDA mini with Skype mobile? Does it work well? Is the XDA fast enough?

2. Does XDA Minis work well with Slingbox mobile player?

3. Also, I heard that the wifi range on the XDA series, EXEC, MiniS is very weak i.e. 5 metres. What is your experience with this, is there a way to extend the range in keeping with say, a laptops wifi range?

Hi Al

Cannot talk directly about the mini, I have an XDA 11s, however I can say Skype works really well both with a headset and on speaker phone, used recently in Turkey to call home landlines with no problem, shares account with my PC. Its the best piece of software I have installed so far!

Wifi range is comparable with my 3 month old Dell laptop, I use it in the garden (sometimes on Skype) at 50 - 100 M range.

The Mini S wont be fast enough for skype I'm sure one of my customers tried it with this unsuccesfully.
