Samsung Galaxy "Tablet" & Skype from Android Market

When I download Skype from the Android Market it will NOT load on my Samsung Galaxy "Tablet". Is anyone else having this problem? I have tried it over a 4 day period and the same result each time "installation unsuccessful" Thank You!!!

not surprising since i have not been able to get skype working on the samsung galaxy s phone. see if you can find the older version i think skype lite

I was able to install skype on my moto phone running 2.1 without any problem.
Sorry you're having trouble. I know Samsung said skype will only work over Wifi on the Galaxy. Verizon’s Samsung Galaxy Tab Skype Will Only Work On Wi-Fi

Hi I had problems to download Skype for the GT-P1000 ended up going to softpedia then search for skype android from the device. Download the apk file and install from the card.

Really funny it says its an old version but you actually get the latest version. Seems Skype block non-USA downloads. My device is unlocked and connected to a local telco/wifi.

Skype works over wifi but I have not tried the 3G connection yet. I also have an unlocked older version of Skype from XDA-forum if I need to use 3G.

Looking forward to Skype with Video.

Here's a hacked version of Skype that will work with both WiFi and 3G. I have it on my Tab (T-Mobile) and it works great.

I have the non Verizon version of skype and it works fine. It also works on both 3g and wifi.

Fishstick600 - curious , where did you get the .apk you are using, I too am having headaches with the market version. thanks

tried to use the .apk from thread above, still doesn't work

I didn't use a .apk I just searched skype on the market and use the non Verizon version. Still can't make video calls but I.can do everything on 3g

Greetings Everyone:

It may be possible that Skype is not loading properly on Android 2.2.

Other Tablets like the HeroTab C8, Dropad A8, Apad M7009, all have Android 2.2 and Skype does not work.

Those of you who are developers do you think its the Tablets UI at fault, or Android 2.2, or Skype not being compatable.

Regards Robert

Works fine for me. The only thing that should be there is the video.

I also have a problem with the Skype and no video... anyone have any suggestions?

currently skype only works with voice calls - video calls not yet working. If you want to make video calls try Tango or Fring

I currently use skype for phone calles and was told the new version does support video on the tsb...but it will not load on mine either.
