Skype has just signed a co-marketing deal with
iSkoot, a company which makes a program of the same name which allows Java-enabled mobile phones and smartphones to use the voice capabilities of Skype. iSkoot gives you full access to your Skype contacts as well as regular phone numbers via SkypeOut. Though using iSkoot still uses you minutes, if you use Skype a lot or make international calls, iSkoot could be pretty cost-effective. It's currently free but the web site seems to hint that it will eventually be a subscription service.
PC World and
MobHappy have more details.

Can we stop putting a lower case I in front of all our brand names? It is really starting to get lame.

Iskoot is ok. But Vox for Skype seems even better. I wanted to share with you this new app showcased on Skype extra galery. It called Vox for Skype. Apparently it works on all mobile phone (unlike eqo).it's free and easy to set-up.
It's launched on September 11th but you can get an early bird notification. I'm curious to compare Voxlib to iskoot. Please let us know what you think once it's launched.
Thanks
