Skype Released for OS2008

Posted in Applications at 10:48 pm by Jonathan Greene

Skype for the Nokia Internet tablet

No video that I can see, but Skype works on both the N800 and N810 using the latest OS2008 updates for each device. I used the shortcut from the My Selection panel which asks whether you’d like to install. I’d had issues previously with the installer in Applications Manager and thought this might do the trick – though I gather the real reason it works today is that the application is actually in the repository! Enjoy!

    Until a few days ago Skype installation wasn’t working on N800, as I stated on my blog post it was complayining about not using latest N810 version, perhaps they fixed the problem. I’ll give it a try later today.

    Thx for pointing it out.
