No Mo' WinMo Skype or Skpe Lite, Blogs Skype

download_mobile_3_cropped.pngSkype announced via its blog that is no longer offering Skype for Windows Mobile and Skype Lite. The reason is
for the chane is that "neither of these apps offered a great Skype experience."

The latest version of the Windows Mobile OS, was increasingly
challenging for Skype to maintain an app on
a wide range of handsets without working with a mobile operator partner.

Skype Lite only worked in a small number of countries. Where it did work, making a call required  use of minutes
from the carrier, making the Skype-to-Skype calls
sort-of-free-per-minute rather than actually-free-per-minute.

If
you already use one of these apps, you can keep on using them.

They suggest if you haven't already tried it yet,
you should try Skype for Symbian.
