There have been a couple of interesting Skype product upgrades/releases over the past few days.
The first is SoonR Talk, an AJAX enabled application that allows Skype to run on the iPhone and other mobile devices.
The second is the release of Skype on the Nokia N800 Internet tablet. The small hand-held device connects to available Wi-Fi networks that we're all finding just about everywhere these days.
Here's a Yahoo News quote from Gartner analyst Elroy Jopling:
"We will see more Skype and similar free Wi-Fi phone services moving into mobile devices in the U.S. and Europe, he said, although Europe could adopt it more quickly. However, he said he expects to see "mobile operators put up as many roadblocks as they can" in both places".
Both of these products allow free Skype voice calls from anywhere to anywhere with Wi-Fi access.
I'll be finishing my Day 2/3 NCTT Conference blog tomorrow - the Conference was EXCELLENT!
