3 and eBAY join with Skype for Skype Phone

Rating: how to avoid cannibalisation?

So – in a move that shakes the device market once more. 3 is going to extend its partnership with Skype and launch Skype in and out calls on a special branded device. At the moment only Skype in calls are allowed on N73 X-Series devices.

What we think.

The end is nigh for the Google/ eBay partnership and eBay is even trying to trump Google with the launch of a mobile device. The cat fight begins and lets see if consumer care or event want VoIP on a mobile. My experiences so far have been BAD on mobile and only the tight or students will be waiting this launch with baited breath.
