Sales of Skype-compatible WiFi mobiles are flying off US shelves in a Buzz Lightyear-style Yuletide frenzy, according to American website Computer World. Could this be the shape of Christmassy things to come in the UK?

Two of the fastest-selling Skype-certified phones in the US are the WSKP100 from SMC and the catchily-named Belkin F1PP000GN-SK. Here in the UK, hot Skype gadgets like the DUALphone 3088 and Skype's £99 WiFi phone package could soon be giving Wiis and novelty cufflinks a run for their money in the Popular Pressie charts.
