iSkoot, the leading provider of mobile Internet communications solutions, today announced that iSkoot will be featured in the Sony Ericsson booth at the Symbian Smartphone Show. iSkoot's representatives will showcase their iSkoot for Skype solution -- a mobile application that enables Skype(TM) on mobile phones -- on the newest UIQ smartphone devices, including the Sony Ericsson P1 and Sony Ericsson W960. iSkoot will be presenting their demonstration at Sony Ericsson's booth #7 throughout the conference's two-day run on October 16 and 17 at the Excel Centre in London, England. The Symbian smartphone show features 120 exhibitors and draws more than 3500 delegates from around the globe.
"We're honored by the Sony Ericsson invitation, particularly following our successful collaboration to bring mobile VoIP to consumers. We are also eager for the opportunity to demonstrate the iSkoot application's latest capabilities to so many major players in the smartphone community," said Roy Erez, VP of Business Development at iSkoot.
iSkoot's mobile software delivers Skype-to-Skype and SkypeOut(TM) calling capabilities, presence information and live Skype chat features to a variety of UIQ 3- and S60-powered smartphones. Users on virtually any cellular network can make Skype-to-Skype calls on their handsets at the same cost as making a local call (depending on mobile user's call plan, normal airtime and data charges may apply), and receive Skype calls at Skype's call-forwarding rates for mobile numbers. iSkoot's carrier-friendly solution utilizes the existing mobile network infrastructure to route Skype calls through the voice channel, and works without any need for PCs, special hardware, custom phones or WiFi hot spots.
