The skype call route through Verizon PSTN! Not true VOIP. Please bring Skype to all webOS devices with true VOIP.

What are you plans regarding Skype for the Pre 2 for the rest of the world?
Thanks

I agree that true VoIP is dearly awaited! Hopefully soon those outside the US may get this!
As for the app.. how does it work for others? It would be nice if I could see my friend's video feed, and it seems to crash and otherwise be unavailable at times, but my phone is a bit of kludge tho so..
Exciting news nonetheless!

Skype for anybody on the PRE2 would be fantastic. Now with the WebOS 2.1 at least a version where we can use the IM Client should be a good start and then the VOIP later. Right now there isn't even the IM client part...
PLEASE!! Pretty, pretty please...

Not just the Pre2 ... Skype should work on WebOS generally. I mean, face it, there IS a linux version already out. And WebOS is basically linux. It can't be tha much of a hazzle to create a fork off the original linux version of skype. Why after tweo years, there is still no Version for WebOS, goes beyond understanding.
That's just sad.
