The long awaited the release of a official Skype mobile application is finally over. Skype Mobile Version1.2.0.11 is a mobile application compatible on LG, Motorola, Nokia, Samsung and Sony Ericsson phones and it seems to be compatible to Symbian and Windows Mobile operating systems, we however reccommend you use this on a 3G version of these  phones to get the most out this application as it needs a decent connection for clarity.

• Skype to Skype Calls (Charged)

ShoZu supports a lot of social media sites that allow for user generated content, hence ShoZu is making social mediamobile not limiting it to the confines of a office.

ShoZu intergrates well into the symbian S60 operating system, allowing it to work as a system application, one disadvantage we saw was that when uploading photos and videos is bandwidth. ShoZu does run up quite a internet bill because there is no form of compression of photos or videos, the aplication just takes the file from the phone not matter what size it is and uploads, so for all you potential ShoZu users make sure you have enough data to be uploading pics and videos online.
