WebMessenger
Mobile for Skype bridges PDA, PC worlds

As someone who lives in the Skype world as well as in the
BlackBerry world, I am really tempted to try WebMessenger
Mobile for Skype.
Leveraging the capabilities of desktop (as opposed to
mobile) Skype, WebMessenger Mobile for Skype is sort of a bridge between a
mobile device and PC-based Skype connectivity.
This service works by connecting your mobile
device-BlackBerry, Pocket Pc, Windows Mobile, Palm or J2ME Java phone with
your Skype software sitting at home or your office. Or your home office, as it were.
There's a free version as well as a $3.95 a month flavor.
With the free version you get click-to-call from your
mobile device- and can call your Skype buddy with the push of a button. You
get access to up to 20 contacts from your Skype buddy list..
The paid sub version
lets you multi-conference with up to four participants, and obtain
access to a virtually unlimited number of contacts from your Skype buddy
list.
