Random thoughts about mobile (enterprise) application development.

Skype for S60

widianuser | 20 November, 2006 22:33

Finally I found the piece of news I have been waiting for so long: Skype is coming to Symbian devices. I didn't find anything about this from Skype's website, but last week 3 (operator) launched a new service called "X-Series" that has an amazing collection of mobile services and one of those is Skype. Application seems to work in Nokia N73 and SonyEricsson W950, so both S60 and UIQ platforms are supported. The service will go live in the UK in December, the the long wait of Mobile Skype seems to be over. Hopefully there will be a version available also for non-3 users.

It is a bit sad that there is no native Skype client for S60 even though we were teased by images of it running on the 6680 a while back. I wonder if we will see a native client. iSkoot is nice but it doesn't alert you by sound if you have an incoming Skype message.

Nope, it's only a rebadging of a Skype hack (through iSkoot, I think). Not Skype for Symbian OS at all.

Thanks for the comments, I got fooled by their funky demo. It is interesting that there still isn't true Skype for Symbian but Skype for Windows Mobile has been available for quite a long time.

biskero Ciao Harri,

actually is not Skype. I got tricked too. It's iSkoot.

The press and the site are miss leading!! I wish it was Skype too.
