EQO Mobile for Skype enables users to make and receive calls, send Instant Messages, and view presence information about their buddies over the Skype network. The service is available for free to consumers as a Beta product via the EQO web site. To get started you need a Skype account, a Palm OS device that can connect to the internet, Windows XP/2000 and a broadband connection. EQO states that Treo 650, 600 and 700w are supported devices.
"We've built a platform and a solution that is both flexible and adaptable", said Colin Quon, Founder and CTO of EQO. "This enables us to respond quickly to customer demand in expanding support for new and popular phone models as they hit the streets."
"Skype is just the tip of the iceberg for EQO", said Ian Andrew Bell, EQO Vice President of Marketing & Alliances. "The hundreds of millions of people associated with online social networks like MySpace and Match.com can enjoy enormous benefit from accessing these communities through wireless devices. We have the technology to deliver it to them."
