Combining the freedom of hands-free connectivity with mobile entertainment, Motorola, 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."

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. The Motorola Talk & Tunes Wireless Internet Calling Kit with stereo is expected to be available in the Q2 2006.
