Motorola and Skype have unveiled the Motorola Talk & Tunes Wireless Internet Calling Kit with stereo, billing it as "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."
The kit comprises the Motorola HT820 Bluetooth stereo headphones and the Motorola PC850 Bluetooth PC adapter. The wearer can listen to music stored on the PC and when Skype receives an incoming call, the music will automatically pause.

Motorola formed its relationship with Skye a year ago and says it will continue to bring out innovative products to work with Skype.
