More Motorola-Skype Details
February 15th, 2005 Posted in Main Page
Turns out the alliance between Skype and Motorola does include wireless devices. According to Skype's Daniel Twigg, Motorola Wi-fi devices with Skype software will be launched by the end of 2005 - with Europe and Asia being the first markets targeted.
As I talked about in a previous posting, I'm curious about Skype in Motorola will work given it appears to disrupt the carrier-device maker Holy Alliance. The wireless carriers make a lot of money from long-distance so how Motorola goes about offering users a way to make cheap or free LD calls without pissing off its carrier partners will be an interesting strategic exercise.
