Skype Now Available For Non-Verizon Android Phones
Posted by Jason Lee in "Android Software" @ 07:00 PM
"It seems unfathomable that Skype didn't have an app for Android until now*, but it's true. Phones running Android 2.1 or 2.2 can download the free app now, for free Skype-to-Skype calls, IM and more."
Good news! Android users not on the Verizon network can finally get their Skype on... kind of. Apparently everyone in the world can make calls and send texts over WiFi or 3G, except for anyone who just happens to live in the United States. Those of us living in the states must fire up WiFi to make a voice call over Skype. That, along with the hefty 13.84MB install on my Nexus One pretty much means this is getting uninstalled very soon. Any Skype users out there glad to finally be able to make calls from your Android phone?
