“We have heard loud and clear that our users want Skype on whichever smartphone they choose to use, ” says Scott Durchslag, COO of Skype. Blackberry users are becoming quite fond of Voice over IP, mostly since it allows them to save tremendously on mobile calls, and maybe partly because of Obama’s attachment to his own RIM machine. Tons of Blackberry users have requested to have Skype on their phones.
