Skype-Ready Phones From Motorola

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the more-than-one-way-to-talk dept.

Hack Jandy writes "Seamlessly integrating VoIP and GSM might not be a fantasy after all, as Motorola announced their decision to build cell phones and handsets that have Skype Internet Telephony integrated into the devices. Obviously, one could use Skype for outgoing calls near wi-fi hotspots (essentially free) but default on GSM for outgoing calls in areas that lack coverage."

    It keeps people like me from RTFA...not that there aren't lots of people like me doing said RTFA'ing. So far, though, they can stay happy with their "server solution" (is this one of those corporate RPG games where everything is a solution?!?) as I read sans much trouble. Any /.ing didn't do permanent damage it seems.
    (The about page) I believe that you can notice it yourselves by the short time it takes to load X-bit's pages today.

    Disagree here though--took me about 30 secs on 3MBit DSL to see the same about page that said that. Now I know what servers not to get for my site. Or Skype-ing for that matter.
