Kevin finally sent back James’ original Kindle, but only after first buying his own Kindle 2. In MobileTechRoundup show #167 we started off by chatting about how the Whispersync technology makes the Kindle a compelling product for iPhone ebook fans.

Om Malik broke the news that Skype may be coming to the iPhone next week at CTIA and Kevin and I will be there to find out first hand and maybe make some test calls between our iPhones.

Opera Mobile 9.7 also gets a Turbo boost and James and I talked a bit about why we like this browsing solution.
