Skype is expected to announce a version of its service for Windows-based mobile phones as soon as this week in a move that reflects eBayâs eagerness to profit from Septemberâs multibillion-dollar purchase of the VoIP pioneer. For owners of dual-mode phones, a major benefit will be that they will be able to choose whether they use Skype over Wi-Fi or over a 3G connection, sources within the company told RedHerring.com. Such a facility would enable users to create their own do-it-yourself âconvergedâ? service. They could connect to their own wireless broadband router at home and use 3G when traveling. A Wi-Fi version of Skype has been in development for some time. The company announced July 21 it plans to offer Wi-Fi service on phones from Belkin, Edge-Core, Netgear, and SMC (see Skype Offers Wi-Fi Phones).
