Could someone expand a little bit on this? What is this feature exactly?

It improves behaviour when you are logged in with same user on many devices.

Raul, thanks. This is something that interests me quite a lot, particularly being logged in a wi-fi phone and the PC at the same time. Is there any documentation available that would explain better what the behaviour is?

What happens if I change status in one device? Where do calls go? Where do chats go? My responses to chats in one device are logged on the other(s)? Does everything go to history on all devices? If I authorise someone in one device, will the request remain unanswered in the other? etc, etc, etc

All clients need to support this feature to work, and at the moment there is no update for wifi phones to support this.
The behaviour is that presence change is synced to all logged in clients.

Yeah, I've been interested in this for quite a while. I'm really not sure how the multi-device presence works, but I would expect that if I got a skype in call, it would ring on all machines, much like how your home phones would all ring when you get a call. It would be nice to see some settings in the future for this (such as, don't ring my machine when actively logged in by another user or- always ring on this machine etc).

If this is the case, should I update my version to 3.2 beta on my pc? My only concern is that my pc has a 500mhz processor and 256ram. I'm find that 3.0 runs bumpy from time to time but no major problems...
