Skype have slammed down an update to their Android app, with the all-new, all-shiny v2.5 adding support for video chat on an additional 14 devices (see below), including the popular Galaxy Tab 10.1 and Motorola XOOM tablets.
Back in the balmy days of June, Skype bolted on the ability to make one-to-one video calls over both Wi-Fi and 3G via its Android application, but it was a fat lot of good to most users as very few handsets were actually able to make use of the feature.
Microsoft has dug deep into its pockets to purchase the internet voice and video chat service Skype for an eye watering $8.5 billion.
Skype has launched its own video-calling service for the Apple iPhone, letting iPhone 4-toting users make Skype-to-Skype video calls with other users on other iPhone 4s or desktop PCs and laptops.
Skype has just shunted their free internet calling app into the Android Market, and it’s free for anyone running Android 2.1 and above.
Skype has suddenly become a lot more useful, with the company releasing an updated iOS 4-ready version of VoIP app for the iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 which is capable of multi-tasking.
It’s been a long time coming, but Skype 2.0 for the Apple iPhone has finally shimmied into town, adding 3G calling.
Although videophones haven’t really caught on – we’ve never been excited at the prospect of letting people see us in our full, post-hangover, mid-morning glory – we have to say that Asus’s dinky new standalone devices have almost created a moistening in our ‘want’ glands.
Looking purdy as a picture with their curved lines and natty design, the Skype-certified SV1T videophone packs WiFi (or Ethernet), VGA webcam, mic, a built in speaker and a hefty 7-inch 800×480 pixel touchscreen to cater for all your video chatting needs in a standalone package.
