Lagier's comments may sound contradictory considering the company already provides software for mobile phones with versions for either Microsoft's PocketPC or Windows Mobile operating systems, however he was likely referring to a general version that would be compatible with a larger section of cellular handset manufacturers. Either way, the company continues to move forward with its Windows Mobile version. HelloSoft's technology would be used to enhance the product, giving those users better quality calls."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/wey-20070202-skype.png" /><br /><br />It's nice to see Skype working to improve their Windows Mobile client. Suffice to say, it's already very solid in its current form, so it'll be interesting to see just how far it can go in the coming years.
