Motorola to Build Skype Ready Cell Phones, Headsets.
In the first half of this year, Motorola will be offering Skype ready cell phones and cell phone accessories. They include Bluetooth headsets, dongles, and speakerphones. They also mentioned in their announcement, “delivery of the Skype Internet Telephony experience on “select Motorola mobile devices”. I take that to be Skype enabled Cellphones. I also assume from the release that you will be able to use the Skype portion of you cellphone when you are near a wireless internet network. This of course will allow cheap long distance or overseas call from the Skype network while using your minutes for local or non-roaming calls on the GSM cellphone network.
Skype takes communications to a new and global era with its free, multi-faceted and rich communication tools, enabling users to make free, or very cheap, voice calls and rich messaging connections via the Internet. Skype currently has more than 25 million registered users.
