Skype and i-mate have announced the release in March of two GSM / WiFI-enabled PDAs that will come preloaded with Skype software.

The two i-mate models that will initially carry the Skype software are the PDA2K and the PDA2 handsets. All models use Windows Mobile Pocket PC Phone Edition, and some models utilize Intel’s Xscale PXA263, which operates at 400 MHz. Some models have a back-lit pull-down keyboard and come with 128Mb SDRAM and 96Mb ROM. Also available is an expansion slot for flash memory.
