Meet the new Skype, same as the old Skype. Except that this Skype is exclusive on Verizon (and is no longer welcome on Windows Mobile, apparently). But no bother. We've got the Android-powered Motorola Droid, Droid Eris and Devour on Big Red, so there will be plenty of VOIP calling to be had.
If you're new to Skype and the whole Voice over IP (Internet Protocol) thing, Verizon's worked up a handy cartoon (after the break) to explain what all this is about. What it doesn't answer: Exactly when we're going to see it. And color us paranoid, but we're still waiting to be nickled-and-dimed somehow. There must be charges at some point, right? Anyhoo, check out the video, and stay tuned for the Android app to come. [Verizon Wireless]
