If you haven’t seen my article on the IM and Mobile IM market, make sure you check it before reading this article. Recently we are seeing many IM companies go mobile, and I have to say I am a personal fan of the Skype IM that was just launched in beta just a 2 - 3 months back.

The application is perfect from the launch, you get a beautiful frontpage look, and then it loads all your contacts comfortably from the server, and you have an immediate option to message them. All messaging is done in T9, which makes it awsome for all users, and universal for all phones.

Unfortunately the application also lacked some things, there were some missing components and options, no real API opened for developers like in the PC version, and no calling option when you are on WiFi. On the other hand its just the beginning, and we cant expect everything to be launched in the first version. Lets call this Skype Mobile 0.1.

Looking forward to the first stats!
