Skype Products Introduced in 1800 Wal-Mart Stores Today
Today Skype debuts Skype-Certified hardware in 1800 Wal-Mart stores. Wal-Mart has also begun selling pre-paid Skype calling cards.
This deal with Wal-Mart will bring with it Skype-ready webcams, headsets and handsets. These items include low cost items such as webcams for under $25, handsets under $30 and headsets under $15, from such names as Philips, Plantronics and Logitech, to name a few.
This move by Skype is an attempt to market Skype goods to small-town America, where Wal-Marts abound, but stores such as Best Buy and CompUSA simply don’t exist. Naturally, Skype hopes that Wal-Mart customers interested in trying out the new Skype products will also be interested in signing up for Skype service.
