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!!!

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.

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

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
