Droidli reporting Skype not coming at all (panda can you comment)!

[flashpiti]

If this is true, it is beyond lame on so many different levels. First Skype was made a huge deal of at ces with all the lte phones, especially the bolt. Second from a marketing perspective this would have been a gray way to advertise the let network and it's increased functionality. Third, if my damn Verizon iPhone can do Skype video over 3G why can't this "superior" device do it over 4g especially now that Skype bought qik. For those who say this is no big deal, it isn't to you, but for those of us who were looking at a proven app to do cross platform video chat, this is a major disappointment.

Can you provide the link -

- i 2 want SKYPE! for my XOOM even more than for the TB. It's one of the reasons I picked up the Pad #2 - too bad the Pad's camera is so poor.

Done. Should have said droidlife. Typing on the ipad2 isn't the best.

Panda said Skype is on his test phone. I imagine it'll be there soon.

The Thunderbolt will not launch with Skype, but will definitely come later. Don't listen to that.

Yea I imagine Skype for Android video isn't going away.

Droid Life guy posts the most randomness stuff half the time and all it is are reposts from other news sources unless someone randomly tips him and he doesn't validate most of them.

This is going to come with Skype.

That's what I thought as the one I tested in BestBuy today still had the webcam tab in the HTC sense contacts list on the bottom. It was empty but still there.
