Guest Paul [MVP] Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 An updated release of Skype is now available for Pocket PC! Well, that's not entirely true, 2 new versions of Skype have been released. Previously, Skype has required a speedy processor, but a version is now available to support devices with slower clock speeds. The two versions can be found here, and the changelog is included below. I'm going to give this a go myself, and will report back results... here's hoping for a Smartphone release next... :) P 15.12.2005 Skype for Pocket PC™ 1.2 beta change: Windows Mobile 5.0 supported change: devices with 300+ MHz CPU supported. Skype will not operate on devices with ~300MHz CPU while using an external WiFi card change: landscape mode support and support for 240x240 and 480x480 screens change: new languages (Danish, Dutch, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Portuguese Brazil, Russian, Spanish, Swedish) change: languages updated feature: automatic language selection depending on regional settings of the device change: new EULA text feature: call forwarding icon added bugfix: authorization stayed pending for receiver bugfix: incoming calls when rejected were not sent to VM bugfix: incoming calls were not sent to Voicemail after timeout bugfix: send Voicemail to SkypeOut user was allowed in log tab bugfix: impossible to add SkypeIn number from log tab to contact list bugfix: impossible to remove missed call notification in start menu bugfix: “Cannot execute Skype.exe” notification appeared when Skype installed on external storage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest battletank Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 So no support for the 200MHz Wizard yet? Somewhat ironic, given that an older version of Skype is shipped with this phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 Skype SHOULD now work on sub 300MHz devices so long as they have internal WiFi (like the Wizard). Only one way to find out! :) P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kulla Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 I have tried previous version with gprs, and it was slow with lot of delay. I will give a try to this one. 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest nickcornaglia Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 Didnt read this thread all the way thru...but it seems the PPC version of Skype will work on the WM5 Smartphones by forcing the installation. (Letting the PPC installation fail and pulling the exe from the install folder). http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=745447&page=5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
