Google adds Skype to Google Pack
Many PC makers including Dell , bundle Goolge Pack in their PCs so I assume inclusion of Skype would provide an option to choose VOIP services.
This looks to me win-win for Google & Skype. Skype has an interesting problem. Skype needs a vehicle to go directly to PCs, especially after Yahoo extended its reach to provide VOIP services to millions of MSN messenger users. Google Pack may provides what Skype is looking for. For Google, Google talk is not catching up as fast as they would have hoped. Also Yahoo & MSN messengers interoperability provides another hurdle to overcome. This relationship may help Google to have strategic alliance with Skype in future.
Despite of direct competition with Payal & Google Checkout, I think eBay & Goolge can workout a deal which can provide protect their interest in different space. Â
