Skype Lite Arrives for Android

by Sam Dean - Jan. 09, 2009Comments (1)

Our sister blog JKOnTheRun cited the prediction early, and it turned out to be  correct: Skype has delivered a "lite" version for the Android platform and over 100 Java-enabled phones. This is very good news for the wave of Android-based phones that I expect this year. Users will be able to make free Skype-to-Skype calls to other users around the world--very much in the spirit of phones based on an open source platform--and take advantage of low rates to people on landlines and mobile pones. For users of the G1 Android phone, the beta version of Skype Lite is available on Android Market. Check out more from JKOnTheRun.

This is great for consumers. But how would the mobile carriers react to this now you can get on wi-fi and use Skype instead of the mobile networks?
