As predicted, the Three Skype phone will have a specific button above the keypad to activate Skype. It looks like Three will not charge extra for Skype so long as the customer has a contract or tops up their prepay account regularly. The Guardian thinks the the phone will feature a 2MB camera and MP3 player as well as video playback, which is pretty safe predication. And assuming the Skype software operates like a normal PC account, it should be possible to use it to get “pushed” RSS feeds to it using something like Zaptxt. That might be useful… if outside the mainstream market the phone is aimed at.
