I downloaded Skype onto my wife's Droid on the Verizon network. The app doesn't work with wifi though, which is annoying. I think Verizon is requiring it to work only through their data network, so they get paid.

Maybe Skype is releasing this SDK in the hope of making an end-run around these kinds of barriers?

Really? There seems to be a lot of contradicting info about the Skype app and the 3rd party apps and what they do and cannot do on Android.

Last time I checked, the Skype app for Android was doing regular voice calls (no data). And there was no 3rd party Skype to do anything remotely related to chats/audio calls/video calls.
