Motorola and Skype Make Beautiful Music with New Wireless Internet Calling Kit

New Kit Uses Bluetooth® Wireless Technology to Allow Skype® Users to Multi-Task and Rock on Without Missing an Important Phone Call

Las Vegas – 4 April 2006 – Combining the freedom of hands-free connectivity with mobile entertainment, Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT) and Skype, the global Internet communications company, today unveiled the Motorola Talk & Tunes Wireless Internet Calling Kit with stereo – an unprecedented innovation in Bluetooth® technology that lets Skype users simultaneously and wirelessly listen to music and manage calls over the Internet from a PC**.

As a Skype-Certified device, the Talk & Tunes Kit will be put through rigorous tests with Skype software to ensure optimal performance. The kit works with Skype’s free unlimited Internet calling to other Skype users anywhere in the world and delivers the freedom of listening to music wirelessly from a PC without missing important phone calls.

The Talk & Tunes Kit includes the Motorola Bluetooth® Stereo Headphones HT820 for precision audio streaming and the Motorola Bluetooth® PC Adapter PC850. Together, these devices allow you to connect wirelessly to your PC – leaving you free to enjoy your favorite tracks and still be alerted to your voice calls. When a call comes in, the music will automatically pause.

“Little more than a year old, our alliance with Skype has already produced greater connectivity options for consumers,” said Bruce Hawver, vice president and general manager, Motorola, Inc., MobileME products. “And, we’ve just gotten started. We will continue to push the limits on innovative products and solutions that make day-to-day mobile communication and entertainment effortless and enjoyable.”

“Skype is committed to keeping Internet calling easy and fun,” said Saul Klein, vice president of global marketing, Skype. “We will continue to partner with technology leaders like Motorola to bring innovative Skype Certified products to market, ensuring the best possible experience for consumers.”

For true wireless independence, the adapter enables users to roam up to 30 feet away from their computer while controlling both music and voice calls at the touch of a button on the headset.

For calling other Skype users, the Talk & Tunes Kit with Skype software offers free unlimited Internet calling for uninhibited, stress-free conversations.

Motorola will be showcasing the new Motorola Talk & Tunes Wireless Internet Calling Kit as part of Motorola’s rapidly evolving vision of Seamless Mobility during CTIA Wireless 2006 in Booth 2606.
