IPdrum plugs mobile phones into Skype

IPdrum_logippdrum.gif Norwegian company IPdrum yesterday launched a system that connects the Skype VoIP network to (two) mobile phones, reports The Register.

"You'll note the use of the plural there. IPdrum's Mobile Skype Cable requires two handsets, one which connects to a host PC's USB and audio ports using the aforementioned cable, and the other to make and take calls from wherever you happen to be at the time.

...IPdrum's Mobile Skype Cable currently runs only under Windows XP, though the company said it intends to support other operating systems. The product connects to Nokia and SonyEricsson phones, with Motorola-, Samsung- and Siemens-supporting versions in the pipeline."
