Skype Mobile Hits Technical Obstables

Skype has announced it has no timetable for the roll out of Mobile
Skype, due to unforeseen technical difficulties and a lack of suitable
handsets.

The internet telephony company is developing the
service for the Symbian operating system, used by Nokia amongst others,
Niklas Zennström, Skype CEO and co-founder told Finnish newspaper Helsingin Sanomat.

However,
Zennström added that he hadn’t realised the number of technical
obstacles which stand in the way, with mobile Skype becoming a more
challenging venture than he envisaged.

The service was originally slated for release last year, using handsets made by Nokia and other vendors.
