Skype to Make Its Way to Your Cell Phone?

by Chris Ziegler on April 28, 2008 at 02:10 PM


Why should smartphone and 3 Skypephone users have all the fun? Skype has finally released a client written for mobile Java, which means the Internet phone service can potentially be used on a wide, wide variety of phones (Skype says it's tested it on about 50, but it's likely to work on far more than that).

Though it's naturally scaled down a bit to fit in its tiny target footprint, the client still manages to pack in support for Skype-to-Skype and SkypeOut calls, chat, group chat, and your buddy list -- pretty much everything you need to make the service functional. If you're going to have a go at it, just make sure you're on a sufficiently generous data plan, k? [Source: Skype]
