Skype Support for Intel MIDs
Skype is coming for Intel MIDs! They expect Skype software to work on Intel MIDs in a few months. VoIP over a tiny Linux based mobile Internet device. What could be sweeter?
Skype said that “MID users will be able to make Skype voice and video calls, while harnessing the PC-like performance of Intel’s new ultra mobile platform.” So the MID OEMs that are smart enough to include WiFi, WiMAX and USB / PC Card support for CDMA cards will be able to offer customers the use of mobile Skype.
How can you beat free calls to other Skype users and pretty cheap calls to regular phones…with a “pocketable” mobile Internet device? Skype is working direclty with Intel, so it sounds like every new Intel MID could have Skype pre-installed. As Skype says, this would give users a “rich Internet communications experience” - and mobile to boot.
