Skype and Siemens to Bring VoIP to Handsets
"This is the world�s first consumer Internet telephony and messaging solution for cordless phone products. Developed in partnership with Skype Technologies, the peer-to-peer telephony company, this product merges data and voice communications technology in a simple and intuitive platform, expanding the frontier for consumer choice and flexibility in communications."
Now before everyone gets to excited, this is going to be released on the Gigaset product line which is a home based handset, not a mobile handset. Regardless, this is the start of some major changes for the industry. It won't be long until Skype (or any other VoIP company) integrates this into a mobile handset along with a WiFi connection. Allowing me to select my connection type based on my location. Ah, the future is so bright, I gotta wear shades. 8)
