From LAPTOP to mobile, Skype is voted best

By My status Tony Saigh on April 6, 2009 in Insight.

The editors of LAPTOP, the leading mobile technology magazine and Web site, have named Skype for iPhone CTIA's Best Mobile Lifestyle Application.

As Scott said last week, Skype is mobilising - and with over 1 million downloads of the Skype for iPhone application in under 48 hours, it's pretty clear that's the case. For many people, it's been their first experience of the transformative power of free Skype-to-Skype calls, and just think what we could achieve if it worked over 3G too ;)

But, of course, it's not just about the iPhone, it's about the mobile world as a whole - when the lite version of Skype comes to BlackBerry smartphones later this year, Skype will be available on nearly 90% of all smartphone devices, for example, and that's just the start. We're serious about this stuff - and serious about breaking down barriers to conversation, working together with hardware manufacturers and mobile networks to make Skype available everywhere.
