Skype stops offering Windows Mobile phone apps

Skype no longer offers its Skype and Skype Lite mobile clients for Windows Mobile phones for download, the VoIP telephony service provider announced on its support site. Users who have the applications already installed on their WM-powered handsets can continue to use the apps throughout 2010, Skype promises, but no new users can download it. Skype says it pulled the app because it felt it was "not offering the best possible Skype experience."

Skype offers and will continue to offer an app for the iPhone and Symbian handsets, however, as it's evidently happy with the performance of those.
The company is likely to come back with an improved version of the app for the upcoming Windows Phone 7 operating system.
