Hello,

I am looking for an app that is similar to Skype. Skype is a great app but it does have its drops in connection. And also I would like to know if anyone has a better alternative to Skype, but that is similar in features and interface.

One other thing, is the desktop sharing in Skype, which is a great feature by the way. Just when I use it for PC to iPod the quality isn't to good at all. I know it might be the resolution difference but it shouldn't be because I have used Mocha VNC lite and the quality is much much much better. And by desktop sharing or screen sharing I dont mean anything like VNC or remote assistance. Not looking to take over my own pc using my iPod or some else using my iPod. I am looking to show my desktop screen to someone that is using their iPod. So my PC screen to someone's iPod screen :)

P.S. Skype can do that, just the quality is ehhh, looking for better quality :)

Thanks for the help, it is greatly Appreciated :)

Don't know of 1 app - but if you want remote control the best one I've found so far is teamviewer
TeamViewer - Free Remote Access and Remote Desktop Sharing over the Internet
They make a client for everything.

Skype does have its problems but it seems to be able to handle the widest range of bandwidth. If the people you are talking to have iPhone/iPad/iPod touchs and/or Macs you could try Facetime. I've found that Skype works better on lower bandwidth but Facetime quality is better when it works.
