VoIP client comes to millions more mobile devices

Skype has released a new beta of its software for Google's Android operating system, Java-enabled handsets and Intel-based mobile internet devices (MIDs).

The updated beta now makes Skype's software broadly available to millions of mobile users worldwide, including in the US for the first time. The Lite version lacks the ability to make video calls, but offers all other core Skype features, including contact presence, Skype-to-Skype calls and instant messages, as well as Skype-in and Skype-out.
