Om has a post on the news that there has been 5 million Skype Mobile downloads. He’s right to point out that there’s a huge difference between download and actual usage. I wonder how many of those downloads were done by people thinking it’d work on thier bog standard mobile.
Anyway, I’ll still stick to my point that Skype mobile isn’t intergrated into the fabric of the phone and therefore will require choice, button presses, delays while networks connect before a call can be made. This means it’ll only be used by those desperate to save money.
Now if Truphone did a deal with Skype I think we’d be on to something huge.
