"We want to give people the freedom to move around while talking and have access to Skype wherever they are," said Stefan Oberg, general manager of hardware for Skype.
The devices will provide automatic synchronization with Skype accounts and will support common WiFi encryption.
The phones will come from Belkin, Edge-Core, Netgear and SMC. They will be available in the third quarter.
