Gizmo or Skype

So there’s a competitor to Skype now:

Gizmo ? A free phone for your computer

Gizmo is a Free Phone for Your Computer
That makes calling as easy as instant messaging

Interesting. Some of the features that Gizmo has that Skype doesn’t is:

-Free call in numbers (that require 2 steps)

-Based on a standard - SIP

-Doesn’t hog memory and bandwidth (apparently)

I’m not sure you can call someone on the Skype network with it, but since this is a standard (SIP), presumably you can call someone on Vonage possibly?

Interesting match up - anyone have any experiences with this?
