asked on

skype on android

Hello,

I have a tablet and I am desperate to use Skype with it. However, when I try to install Skype through Android Market, I cannot because it says my device is not supported. I still want to try it though at my own risk. How can I get Skype?

Thank you in advance

Hello,
It's Cius with an android version of 2.2.2
There's a good chance it won't work, but it appears you can find skype.apk files around the place, which you can try to download and manually install from your PC...

You can find some links around the place, and the following thread on the Skype forums has some information:
http://forum.skype.com/index.php?showtopic=725233

I would definitely recommend caution, because you could inadvertently find an apk which contains malicious code, but if you're desperate it's probably worth a try.... :)

Thank you for the comments, you are right, I have to be careful on malicious code :)

can you please tell me why the Skype version is not supported? The application download page says it requires 'android 2.1 and up' What is stopping me to get the app?
