Will We Be Meeting A Skype Mobile Phone?

by Noel


Rumors have been going around the industry again and this time, what is said to be coming out soon would be a mobile phone bearing the Skype name. According to the speculations, Skype would be able to create such a mobile phone with some help from mobile phone companies from the United Kingdom, Hong Kong, Italy, and from Australia.

So far, press people have been receiving an invitation for a pre-launch type of event for yet another ‘exciting new product’. Of what product this would be, there were no specific answers to that. However, part of the invitation read:

We can’t divulge exact details and timings yet; suffice to say the event will be staged in a central London venue on the 29th October and run from morning to night, with members of press, product managers, 3’s top brass and hopefully, your good self. We can reveal at this stage though, that the product marks a radical step forward in mobilising internet calls for a mass market.
