It looks like Skype (and my guess iSkoot) are slowly rolling out Skype on Mobile phones beyond what I experience in the UK over 3.
While not yet available on every phone, I see it works on the Nokia N95 which I use in the USA, while unfortunately, it's not yet on the E90 which I make extensive use of when in Europe with it's 3G capability there.
With a 3G data plan on the N95 I'll be connected while mobile. That means more use of my headset in the USA when I'm sitting in traffic in California in my soon to arrive new 2008 Infiniti G37 coupe.
I’m on iSkoot’s marketing team, and just wanted to clarify that while we enjoy a rich partnership with Skype, we did not collaborate on this particular project. With regard to Skype’s announcement yesterday about launching a beta mobile offering, we’re proud to be partners with Skype, and we’re thrilled about the great success that we’ve both enjoyed from the iSkoot-powered 3 Skypephone. The launch of Skype’s beta mobile client is a powerful validation that the mobile VoIP category is thriving—and certainly, the opportunities for further growth are tremendous. This is also a clear win-win for consumers, who are eagerly embracing the benefits of using mobile VoIP as the perfect complement to their on-the-go lifestyles.
