It was unveiled in November 2007, with the first commercial Android device, the HTC Dream, being launched in September 2008.

Note that, even if your front-facing camera enabled handset is not listed above, the modded app might still work, though you’d probably have more success if your device is running Android 2.3+ rather than 2.2 Froyo. We’ve tried the general APK file with our Galaxy S II and HTC Sensation and confirm that they both work (video chatting only in landscape though). Tested devices, which work with the modded APK files, so far include the Samsung Galaxy S II, HTC EVO 3D, HTC Sensation, Droid Charge and HTC ThunderBolt.

Unfortunately, although everyone can download the updated application, official support for video chatting is restricted to the Google Nexus S (excluding the US Google Nexus S 4G), HTC Desire S, Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo and Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro, at least for now. Skype released yesterday a new version of its Android app, v2.0.0.45, which brings much awaited free Skype-to-Skype video calls over 3G or WiFi.
