Shape Services Brings Skype To The Palm Pre

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Shape Services, the well known developer behind the popular IM+ universal instant messenger has taken their first stab at the Palm Pre’s webOS platform with their IM+Skype app. The app brings all of the typical features of Skype to your Palm Pre, including:

– cost effective voice calls to other phones
– free calls to other Skype users in the United States
– instant text messaging with other Skype users
– easy and intuitive interface.

I am thrilled to see the beginning of new apps dribbling into my Palm Pre. Hopefully this is only the beginning of a long deluge which could eventually populate the App Catalog.

For more information, head over to Shape Services or type s4palm.com from your Palm Pre’s mobile browser. IM+Skype costs $9.99, or you can pay a monthly fee of $1.99 to use it. There is also a 10 day trial.

I purchased this product and had problems connecting to it for SEVERAL months. Their customer service department was terrible and couldn’t help me trouble shoot the problem. It definitely isn’t worth it. Skype has their our FREE application that is much better.
