Verizon preloads Skype mobile on more handsets

Verizon Wireless preloads the Skype mobile app available for the Pantech Crux (a music phone without a keyboard), LG Octane (a messaging phone), and Samsung Zeal, all sub-$100 consumer handsets. This is routine. I’m just passing along the data point that VZW continues to extend Skype’s US brand.

What’s significant about this announcement is Skype is now available on the Brew operating system. These are not smart phones with multitasking operating systems such as Windows Mobile or Android.

Jim, you’re right! So many handsets are built on Brew. Smartphone OSs are taking over but hundreds of millions of Brew phones are still selling every year.
