iSkoot is First VoIP Application in Android Market

iSkoot has announced that its mobile application, iSkoot for Skype, is launching in the Android Market.

It is the first VoIP solution available on Google’s new mobile application store.

Available immediately for download, iSkoot for Skype also runs on nearly all major mobile platforms, including J2ME, S60v3, UIQ, Palm, Windows Mobile and BlackBerry.

iSkoot’s solution supports the Skype software, offering Android users on any cellular network the ability to make Skype-to-Skype and SkypeOut calls on their mobile phone. Users can also receive Skype calls and use Skype text chat.

Although the service offers greatly reduced prices, the calls are not free. See iSkoot's website for pricing details.

Jim Hudak, iSkoot vice president of business development, said: "iSkoot continues to work on delivering innovative products that give people a rich mobile experience so that they can cut the cord from their desktop."

San Francisco-based iSkoot has built significant momentum during the past year with the recent acquisition of Social.IM, the social network IM client.
