eBay-owned Skype announced an agreement with Dell to ship Skype software with new Dell XPS mobile systems, the XPS M1210 and XPS M2010. The agreement will allow Dell to provide its customers with easy access to Skype's voice and video Internet calling software.
Dell will pre-load Skype on the XPS 2010, a unique mobile entertainment system. Dell's XPS 1210 can be configured with Skype as part of an optional audio-video communications package that also includes an integrated rotating webcam, noise-isolation earbuds and mobile broadband capability.
With Skype, acquired by eBay last year, customers can talk with other Skype customers across the world at no charge. A PR spokesperson for Skype said the deal is "designed to get Skype in the hands of more people and open them up to Skype's premium services."
