IPdrum bridges Skype and cellphones
Tons of good news for Skype of late. Yet more: IPdrum is rolling out a solution that will allow cellphone users to use Skype on their handsets. They're calling this the IPdrum Mobile Skype Cable, and since there are no pics, we're a little bit puzzled by the "cable" moniker because it implies some sort of tethering from phone to PC, which is apparently not the case. IPdrum uses proprietary technology to connect mobile phones to Skype, allowing the placing of free long distance calls worldwide. It's not restricted to any special phones or restricted to areas with WiFi access. It'll forward incoming Skype calls to your handset as well as allowing bi-directional synchronization of contacts. No word on pricing, but the Mobile Skype Cable is set to be unleashed in August.
