Skype Cellphones

After talking about skype is class and the benefit of it being free communication, I found this article about Skype being available with Wifi on cellphones. The feature is going to become available on Carrier Devices' i-mate brand. This additional technology is an advanacement in the way the world communicates. We currently pay for all of our telephone services, mobile and landline, but skype is in the process if by oassing both of them.

This isnt just the trend with a few cell phone companies. Motorola, a company I am more familar with anyway, is also on thier way to adding skype on mobile phones too. The article explains how the technologly will tremendously affect the cell phone industy. Communcating will essentially be available without costs because the phones would steer calls away from cell phone networks, combination cell and voice over Internet Protocol. This technology puts the world at our finger tips at no cost to the consumer. It should be interesting to see how the phone companies deal or survive with the furhter development and use of Skype.
