A spokesperson at the Consumer Electronics Show said the phone will be available in early spring. He said that the phone is designed to work over wireless LANs, includuing Wi-Fi hotspots.
The phone will come with Skype software pre-loaded. The user will only need to provide a password and user name, the company said in a statement.
