Skype for blackberry must arrive soon?
This morning the internet is full of news announcing that Skype will launch on the iPhone. I’ve been using Skype everyday (skype:andrewgill73?call) for many years and must have spent hundreds of hours using it…
So I’d really welcome a Skype client on a Smart Phone even if it just works on wi-fi networks for now. I’m currently a blackberry user so when will Skype announce a Blackberry client? Surely if Skype has delivered an application for iPhone why not Blackberry and other smartphones?
I had always assumed that the slow uptake from Skype (and other VOIP providers) to build applications for smart phones was because of pressure from the networks to protect their valuable voice revenue streams. However, now that Skype is launching for iPhone it signals an end to this protectionism!
I think you can always use fring which has skype support to get it working on a smart-phone. It does work great.
Interesting. Skype has been available on Windows Mobile for a long time.
