Skype Headset?
Hey, I have looked for a while for a headset that is compatable with skype on my axim x50 mid. (www.skype.com)

For those of you that don't know: skype is a freeware multiplatform application that allows any two people with internet and skype on a machine to text or voice chat with each other for free! This means i can chat with people in china for free as long as they have internet and are signed onto skype.

I reccommend you check this out, it's really neat.

Anyway, back to topic: I need to find a heaset that will work with this program. Any ideas?

Thanx in advance

You did not mention if you were looking for wired or wireless. If you don't mind wired, take a look at the one from Seidio (my review here). Note that Seidio, as well as Pc-mobile, also make adapters so that you can plug your own mic/headphones into the X50 jack.

Pc-mobile

Not unless you got an adapter since the PC headsets have separate plugs for mic and headphones, right?

well, it is just that i cant see myself spend about US$100.00 on something that may not work right...

i was kind of thinking of a (test) setup like - using a typical normal stereo headphone, AND, just talk through the Ax's built-in mic...

would this work?

thanks!!!

Yep, that would work - I've used Skype many times that way. But why would it cost $100USD?

thanks for the follow-up reply

some technologies are just not available in Japan...

the best example would be cellphones - when the entire world uses SMS/GSM-standards; the Japanese keep to themselves - and thus lose out on lots of stuff, like WM-based/PalmOS-based SmartPhones, etc. (you can call that the Japanese pride)...

OHHHH!! You never mentioned BT! I've only talked about wired solutions...if you mean BT, then yes, you could be paying $100USD. Ebay might have something for less.
