Skype 2.0 for Android video call demo

[MichaelGrabowskii]

Aww, this makes me miss my Nexus S and the good ol' days of reliable gingerbread

@Rogue0DK Right, but it doesn't require an extra data plan or anything. It is no different than a browser, email program, or Twitter client in that regard.

@williamlai31518 Video calling w/o a forward facing camera isn't really of that much use - at least not for people. Good for a virtual tour of a house or something, though, I suppose. AT&T/Cingular had a video sharing service that used the rear camera, and virtually nobody used that.

Skype is really excellent for video calling. Only Facetime of Iphone can compete with it. No other apps will come close with it.

[mobileburn]

@Splmonster I use it to kill off apps that get stuck or are otherwise not responding correctly. Gingerbread does nothing to fix those problems.

@Rogue0DK Pay for it? The app is free. So is the video calling. The SMS sending costs money, though...

[Shizuma]

Is video quality different if you use the network and not wifi?

[Stephs_key_boutique]

So video calling a phone from my phone is completely free? I have a long distance relationship and illegal could really use this

Look, I'm not the sharpest when it comes to cell service, but here goes.
I only use my phone for music, YouTube, basically anything I deal with on it uses Wifi or directly on said phone. If I don't have a SIM card, or any cellular service plan to my phone. Would I be able to use Skype at all? Also acknowledging the error notification given to me saying that it can't connect to cell service, is there another way around it that'll allow me access to it using nothing but Wifi?

@mobileburn does the skype 2.0 video supported on motorola xoom with 3.1 update?

[Antoni]

@mobileburn
Hi, did you try that on bigger screen through HDMI output? It's very important for me ;/

@mobileburn

Does the active video call close itself when you try to multitask? I know that it can't happen on iOS because the active video call closes when you press the home button, but what's the case for Android?

[aleale]

Excuse me are you sure that HTC wildire S supports voice calls?

[savitris]

What android cellphone models are decent for skype video calling?

[LIT]

Hey Michael. My question is when I use Skype on my Droid Charge, the person Im talking to is upside down on my screen. And when I flip my phone around then they say Im upside down on theirs. They use Skype on a laptop with built in camera. Anything I can do?

[CarlosAndresLlanosGomez]

[CheriFoxChannel]

does it only applicable for 3G/4G signal coverage?

[wayangede]

Hello I am Wayan from Bali, Can we get video call? if my phone doesn't have a secondary camera although the skype can be installed in my phone.

[JesseJameson]

Why are you using a task killer Michael? You don't need it on Android GB
