Nokia adds Skype to Ovi Store, foreshadows death of regular phone calls

Skype for Symbian. A freely downloadable application that allows you to converse with your Skype-equipped friends over a WiFi or 3G connection. Seriously, why would you ever make another cellular call again? Nokia's just announced the addition of the online communications client to its Ovi Store, meaning that now more than 200 million users worldwide have access to essentially free calls over their beloved Symbian S60 5th handsets. You knew there was a reason to stay loyal to that stale user experience and here it is. There's not much else to say here, we're off to sell whatever stock we have in mobile network operators while you should click the source links for the full list of compatible handsets. High fives all around.

ASUS EeeKeyboard PC delayed again, now shipping in April

After so many delays, we've nearly given up hope on the EeeKeyboard PC ever actually hitting retail. Having missed the February launch, ASUS chairman Jonney Shih just told us during a post press event Q&A that the mythical, magical EeeKeyboard will now arrive in April. He also offered his apologies as ASUS tries to get the quality of the product and user experience just right. Hey Jonney, no need to apologize, those would be our priorities too before trying to sell a $500 to $600 battery-powered Atom-based PC with integrated 5-inch touchscreen, HDMI-out, and UWB all built into a keyboard.
