Finally, the app that all Android user were waiting for.. Now Skype is not longer exclusive with Verizon Wireless. Skype just launche its Android application only compatible with Android OS 2.1 and higher. In the USA making calls are only allowed using WiFi, while in the rest of the world you can do it using 3G, just becareful with how many MB you are using.
I have been testing Skype in my Samsung Galaxy Captivate and works great. Clear and fast.
Thanks skype. This is the application i was waiting for after switching from iOS to Android.

Google has just expanded
Android Market paid app sales to 20 new international markets, promising to add another 18 countries over the next two weeks. According to Android Developer Ecosystem manager Eric Chu, support for paid apps now spans across nations including Canada, Russia, Australia, Brazil, Mexico, South Korea and Taiwan.
Originally nine countries were allowed to market paid android Apps. These original nations included Italy, France, Japan, Netherlands, UK, Spain, Germany, and Austria and needless to say, the United States of America.
But here is the trick, if you live out of those countries and you want to get paid applications, you only need to do is get a sim card from one of those countries (don’t worry if the phone number of the sim card does not work). Market only sees the country code of the sim card to give you access to paid applications. I did it and works the same, just make sure after installing all the paid applications you want, switch back to your own sim card.
Enjoy!

Sprint Nextel, the first U.S. carrier to roll out a 4G network, is considering changing its 4G strategy in a way that could encourage a merger with T-Mobile, according to a July 12 report from the Financial Times.
According to Technology Business Research Analyst Ken Hyers, the rollout of an LTE network would be in keeping with statements Clearwire has made — and would prevent Sprint from being isolated in its technology choice as Verizon and AT&T’s 4G networks go live.

T-Mobile just recently announced its new WebConnect Rocket USB Modem capable to reach speeds up to 21Mbps while Sprint already offers WiMax service for quite a while. PCWorld has compared both services in mayor cities like Las Vegas and Philadelphia.
About the WebConnect Rocket : T-Mobile’s first HSPA+ modem is even faster than the WiMAX devices we tested. But T-Mobile needs to provide a clear picture of their service plans and network buildout before we jump on board.
About Sprint Modem : If you’re connecting with Sprint, there’s no reason to get a 3G-only modem any more. Step up to a 3G/WiMAX combo with the U301—just don’t expect too much of WiMAX.
Check the full comparison here.
