BusinessWeek Online - Even if you happen to have had a cell phone with Wi-Fi wireless capability, it hasn&#39;t been very easy to use it for phone calls over a Wi-Fi Internet connection. Cell-phone service providers haven&#39;t been very helpful because they want you to use your plan minutes for every call. So you&#39;ve had to download an application from another company such as Skype (NasdaqGS:EBAY - News) to take advantage of the free or at least very cheap calling rates so common now with voice-over-Internet-protocol technology over a wired broadband line. ...

(InfoWorld) - Nokia introduced Skype Internet-calling software for its N800 Wi-Fi tablet on Wednesday, providing another alternative to using a cell phone, while a debate in the U.S. over what networks such devices may be able to use in the future heated up. When the N800 was introduced at the International Consumer Electronics Show in January, Nokia and eBay's SkypeÂ division said they were working on including the popular software in the device. Nokia delivered it on Wednesday with an upgrade to the N800's software. Current owners of N800s can download the software from Nokia's site. Skype, with a claimed 196 million registered users, has expanded from its roots as a popular PC-based free calling system and offers text messaging, video calling, and low-cost dialing to and from traditional phones. There are already Skype clients for mobile devices and even some cellular smart phones, but some mobile operators try to block VoIPÂ calls because they can eat into their voice business. Unlike the Apple iPhone -- available in the U.S. only through AT&T -- the N800 doesn't have cellular connectivity, only Wi-Fi and short-range Bluetooth technology. So the device can access the Internet in a home or office, at a public hot spot, or on a municipal Wi-Fi network, but not in the vast areas covered by cellular data networks. The N800 is available at retail stores and Nokia's Web site for a list price of $399.99. eBay is among a group of companies calling on the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) toÂ encourage more competition against incumbent mobile operatorsÂ when it auctions off prime radio spectrum in the 700MHz band. FCC Chairman Kevin Martin is advocating setting aside part of the spectrum for a network that would allow use of any application on any device, getting away from carriers' limited handset offerings and "walled gardens." But Skype's parent has joined consumer groups in calling for rules that would force spectrum holders to sell access to their networks wholesale to competitive service providers. In addition to the Skype client, the new software version includes an Adobe Flash 9 Web browser plug-in and lets customers use larger capacity memory cards up to 8GB. The N800 has slots to accommodate SD (Secure Digital), MicroSD, MiniSD, MMC (MultiMedia Card) and Reduced-Size MMC cards. The Linux-based device also has a built-in camera and an on-screen touch keyboard and uses the Opera browser.

Exaggerated claim? Danish handset maker RTX Telecom today launched what it claims is the first cordless Skype phone that doesn't require a PC. That's what the blogs are saying, at any rate. What RTX is really claiming is to have shipped the first RTX PC-less Skype handset, which is a bit like Honda making a big deal about how it's the first company in the world to ship a Civic with four wheels.â¦
