 Skype(TM) is now available on the Nokia N800 Internet Tablet, bringing
Skype conversations anywhere in the world where there is an available
wireless internet connection (WiFi).
Espoo, Finland and Luxembourg -"Skype is the recognized leader in internet calling,
with more than 196 million registered users worldwide. The Nokia N800 gives people
easy access to the Internet and it's a natural step that they will want to make
Skype calls away from their desktop." said Ari Virtanen, Vice President, Convergence
Products, Nokia. "Consumers can now start enjoying the benefits of Skype on the
Nokia N800 and experience a free and easy way to stay in touch with friends, family
and business colleagues around the world."
Skype for the Nokia N800 will be available for download for existing users. There
will also be Skype download links on the latest release of Nokia N800 devices
which will be available at retail and on the Skype online store. From coffee shops
and public parks to offices to hotels or even on the beach - users will now be
able to make Skype calls anywhere they can find a WiFi hotspot.
"Skype for the Nokia N800 is another important step in our mobility strategy,"
said Eric Lagier, Skype's head of business development for Mobile. "Our users
are no longer just using Skype on their computer desktops. With the growth of
mobile devices and WiFi, consumers expect to be connected wherever they are, at
the office, at home or on the move. Making Skype available on such an innovative,
portable device, lets us bring internet conversations to the mobile masses."
Today, Skype is enjoyed by over 196 million people worldwide. Users download
Skype software to make free voice and video calls and send instant messages over
the Internet, between Skype users. Skype also offers paid-for services which let
users make and forward calls to landlines and mobile phones at low per-minute
