Skype releases beta for Windows Mobile smart phones
Skype released the beta version of Skype 2.2, a software client that allows Windows Mobile smart phones to access the company’s VOIP (voice over Internet Protocol) service over Wi-Fi connections. Too bad phones like Cingular’s Samsung Blackjack don’t have Wi-Fi!
The beta works on 120 different Windows Mobile devices, Skype said. Users in range of a free Wi-Fi network can make free VOIP calls to other Skype customers. Users can also pay via their SkypeIn and SkypeOut accounts to receive and make calls to landline phones. New features in Skype 2.2 for Windows Mobile include an enhanced screen with presence status and notification of events such as missed calls and voicemails. The client also now supports secure connections including HTTPS, HTTPS/SSL, and SOCKS5 proxies.
