SKIPE FOR iPHONE, ON THE MARKET TUESDAY

On Tuesday, 31st of May, the internet telephone unit of eBay Inc., Skype, is set to launch its new Net-based phone
service for iPhone users and Blackberry as a part of its commitment to expand beyond desktop computers.
Skype has been struggling to make its service work on the most popular phones with the aim to increase
its 400 million + users who were sometimes lured by the promise of cheap and often free calls made, using its
computer applications.
Scott Durchslag, Skype's Chief Operating Officer said in an interview, he had big hope for the new application's
success on Apple Inc.'s most popular iPhone as he expects Skype's future rich mobile offering to appeal to both
new and existing customers.
The no. 1 request we get from our customers is, to make Skype available on iPhone. There is a huge demand
there, Mr. Durchslag said in an interview in the CTIA annual mobile showcase in Las Vegas, where Skype plans
to launch the service on Tuesday.
There is another big launch on May for the "Skype for research" in Motion's Blackberry devices with popularized
mobile email program.
They have already announced Skype for Nokia phones and other phones based on Android, Google Inc.'s
mobile system and finally Window Mobile, from Microsoft Corp.
This new application will give Skype the chance to boost its Mobile phone position as a fight-back to redeem
lost position towards competing social sites like twitter, Facebook or News Corp.'s MySpace.
This is definitely a big step forward on the Digital Entertainment Industry along with the Online Films' Watch Direct.
Massive traffic to those sites is witnessed every day. People crave High-Tech stuff, specially if it's FREE or charging symbolic fees. I can recommend you great resources you can use to the
satisfaction of your heart
Anothe giant step is the Direct Media Download.
See iPhone, iPod, xBOX's Unlimited Downloads.
skype's iPhone application will be free to download and will allow free calls between the users of Skype. fees will
be charged to users for calls to traditional phones
