Sony Ericsson, Microsoft to Offer WinMobile Phones

This is very significant from Ebay's point of view. One of the big drawbacks of Skype is the fact that it cannot be run directly on Symbian OS (it can be done rather clumsily through a client such as Fring). Many people would like to have Skype integrated into their cell handset rather than have a separate handset for Skype. Whilst this is by no means the last obstacle to cheap/free mobile calls it is a significant step.
