Skype releases voice client for a plethora of cellphones [UPDATED]
by Matt Hickey on April 25, 2008

skype on cellphone

Running a Skype client on a cellphone isn’t really new, but this is the first time Skype has made it’s own client available for almost 50 different models, including many popular low-end and mid-market phones. The new client allows you to talk connect your cellphone to your Skype account. It uses cellphone minutes like usual, but adds all your Skype conacts and gives you a mobile presense.

The application is Java-based, so it’ll take a moment to load, and you won’t have access to many of your phone’s other features while you use it. Still, if you’re on plan with decent data but crappy minutes, this might be worth looking into.

To get it, just go here on your mobile phone.

        I don’t think that these small boo-boos, such as “uses cellphone minutes like usual”, or “you’re on plan with decent data ” warrants such a harsh condemnation. The primary goal of language is to communicate ideas, and this posting does so with nuanced perfection. If anything, its jerky syntax conveys a sense of breathless urgency, as the author, and his supervisor, move on to the myriad of vital tasks facing them, as they sift through the vast flow of technological news that inundates them.
