Skype Releasing VoIP Client for PDA's
Posted by Jonathon Watkins in "SOFTWARE" @ 07:00 AM
We posted about Skype Voice over IP last November. (Finally - VOIP that Really Works!)
The only snag was that there was no official PDA client available. :? Now, a story at news.com talks about Skype releasing a client for PDA's. :D
"A version of Skype software for PDAs (personal digital assistants) is expected in the next few months, founder Niklas Zennstrom said in a recent interview. Currently, the software is available only for personal computers.
Skype's service lets people make unlimited free phone calls using what's known as voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), a technology for placing calls using the Internet. The company is also working with cordless-phone makers to introduce devices that can connect with both Skype users and those on the traditional public telephone network."
This is good news. I’ve had Skype installed on my PC for a while but not done anything with it. Looks like I’ll head on down to www.skype.com and see how it goes. 8)
