Yet another news article on the Skypephone S2 has popped up, this time from giants of tech blogging Engadget Mobile. They mention that it hasn’t even been a year since the first Skypephone “made a minor splash across the pond” and now “comes word that the second iteration is nearly ready to be removed from the oven”.

Engadget Mobile also have some juicy tech specs to report on the Skypephone S2; reporting that the handset will “reportedly boast HSDPA connectivity”, 2.2″ QVGA display, the camera will be a step up at 3.2MP, and the integrated Skype will still be there of course. Engadget’s favourite new function is the built-in modem drivers, enabling usage of the phone as a dongle for PCs or Macs: “We’re particularly fond of that… are any of you other carriers listening here?” There’s no mooted release date or price as of yet, but we’ll let you know as soon as there is.
