Skype Announces Supports for Google’s Android

Through the provision of cheap and free calls to be made available to cell phones, Skype is ready to support Google’s Android. It is no longer news that Skype offers cheap and free calls to the Internet and hence the company is set to repeat this in the telecommunication sector.

While Skype offers a cheap method of making calls for those wanting to shed obese land-line charges, the company is now pushing hard to bring its services to mobile phones. The company released a Lite version of Skype for Android-powered devices, as well as more than 100 other Java-enabled mobile phones.

Skype Lite works on currently available Android devices (T-Mobile), however the company expects to cover all Android devices released in the future. Skype Lite also works on other Java-enabled mobile phones from LG, Motorola, Nokia, Samsung, and Sony Ericsson. Skype Lite will process calls to the United Kingdom, Poland, Brazil (Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paolo), Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Estonia,
Australia, and New Zealand, and will also work for calls made in theU.S.

Skype Lite takes the communications company a step deeper into the mobile world with service for the top five phone brands, but it faces fierce competition from Fring, a relative VoIP youngster that already brings more advanced features than Skype Lite to Symbian devices in the Nokia and Sony Ericsson families, including file transferring and instant messaging with contacts on multiple chat networks.
