Babble Trys to Compete With Skype

The ever-growing Skype community has achieved world renown, but there’s a smaller cult operating in the VOIP underworld known as ‘Babblers’. They’re signed up to a Skype-like service called Babble, and this is their USB stick for instant free calls on your laptop.Like Skype’s Flash phone, the Babblestick plugs into your USB port and automatically loads up software that lets you talk to fellow Babblers anywhere in the world for free.An included headset acts as your microphone, and you even get a golden handshake offer called ‘FreeB’ which lets you avoid Babble Go charges – calls to normal phones - by giving you 30 minutes of free calls every day for three months.
