Skype Looks to go Mobile
"Skype is working on VoIP clients that will operate on platforms like Symbian, Windows Mobile and Embedded Linux, he said, adding dual-mode wireless handsets that work on both Wi-Fi networks � originally designed as local-area data networks using the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers� 802.11 protocol � and cellular networks. �If we can put Skype on those phones, it will become useful.� About 155,000 users download the Skype software each day, and about 35 million people use the software now, Zennstrom said."
I'm a big fan of Skype and VoIP in general, so this news gets me really excited. Unfortunately, there is no indication as to when we might see a client released. In fact, there is a good chance that the carriers might push hard against this. After all, the carriers have all but killed Motorola's iTunes phone. Thankfully we have non-carrier devices like imate! 8)
