Kyros Model MID1125 and Skype

[bc3032]

My wife just received a Kyros Tablet. Model# MID1125. She has been trying to download SKYPE and has not had any luck. Any suggestions?

Can't download using what?

Did you (her) try using GetJar, 1Mobile, SlideME or Amazon app market (works only in USA)? All of them are very easy to install, simply use the built-in browser to download and install their apk.

Skype will likely NOT do video. I tried the latest version a few days ago to see if any of the updates would help.

On my Coby MID-1125-4G the older version of Skype will do voice(only) calls fine. I use a headphone, and the mic & sound quality was pretty good. I got that version from GetJar - it IDs my COBY tablet and seems to load the best version. The newest version of Skype would not do voice calls on my COBY tablet.

There are also other video-products should you require it. I'm not sure which one(s) if any work with the COBY. You'd have to test each one.

Weird, because the Samsung based models (7024/8024/1024) work with video call if upgraded to Android 2.3...
