Skype Goes On Google Phone - iPhone Has To Wait
Monday January 12, 2009
Android-based Google phone G1 should this week have a Skype lite version for direct VoIP communication. No Wi-Fi or 3G will be required, as the application will use the GSM network to connect to the closest Skype server, as I explained in that last blog. Here is a video demo of Skype running on G1.
The G1 phone is worth mentioning among a hundred or so devices that so far can host the Skype lite application as it is aligned among some of those in the limelight, with Apple's iPhone leading the way; speaking of which, it will have to wait before getting its own version of Skype lite. Some skeptical users believe this is not going to happen as long as AT&T is the carrier. But Apple people hinted it was under development. In the meantime, Truphone has updated its product to allow iPhone and iPod Touch users to make Skype calls through its application.
