[APP] Skype Lite

Hey folks,

I was going through this forum and saw a few people asking for Skype Lite. I found the apk on my G1 and thought i would put it here for you guys. If its against the rules feel free to remove it or let me know.

Skype Lite for Android sucks!! I prefer Fring cuz voice and text chat work great, even with Skype web clients...

yes, unforutnately fring is the only real skype platform that works - actually it's quite good, msn, yahoo and twitter integration

i just hate the fring user interface, and it sometimes re-downloads tweets all the time when switching cell towers (annoying)... seems it's not saving the chats/tweets locally

i can't get Nimbuzz running.
when trying to call someone the app crashes. I get the waiting tone fine, but then it ends with a crash. can't even find out whats happening.

running aHero 0.5.2 ROM, don't know if that has something to say.

skype lite cause system instability to CM latest rom and force closed all the time.
nimbuzz and fring works great too, but nimbuzz seems use lot of battery life and cant show skype contacts when hiding offline ppl.
fring works great as nimbuzz, and use less memory and less battery draining . and can display both msn and offline skype ppl at the same list .

Here is the Verizon Skype APK's full client that was released this morning. I am sure this will be useful.

Thanks to Dino132!

Enjoy!

** Update **

Sorry for the confusion but this has the two correct files.

com.skype.android.verizon.zip - Came from /data/app
com.skype.android.verizon.apk - Came from /data/app-private

New Download

And.... Pushed both files to /system/app

I don't think this is going to work for T-Mobile and AT&T customers.
