via Darla's blog I read that EQO Communications, a market-leading mobile presence technology provider, today announced immediate availability of Mobile Instant Messaging for Skype, as part of EQO’s innovative Mobile Internet Phone Service for Skype™ product. The software is available for free as a Beta product to consumers via the EQO (pronounced “echo”) web site (www.eqo.com) and supports more than 40 different phone handset models from vendors including Nokia, Motorola, and Sony-Ericsson.
“In response to tremendous customer demand, we have accelerated our plans to release mobile instant messaging,” said Ian Andrew Bell, EQO Communications’ Vice President for Marketing and Alliances. “Skype users are consistently requesting this key feature and we are privileged to be the first company to bring it to them.”
Mobile Instant Messaging for Skype™ will enable Skype™ users to send and receive text messages to other Skype™ users via their mobile phones, start multiparty chat sessions, and check the status of their buddies, as well as standard features such as Skype™ calling, incoming Skype™ call management, and contact list sync.
