As far as I understand, Skypemate is a hardware phone made by company named Yealink and designed to work with Skype. It is not made by Skype, and that can possibly explain why it is not so polished and bugs are left unaddressed for long time.
If the user really cracked Skype, as the title made me believe, this would be big news. I have been told that Skype's protection is really tough.
Skype voice encryption is really though, meaning that agencies can't tap Skype. Change the machinecode of a program on your own pc is something entirely different.
