Skype App for New BlackBerry Q10 Now Available, Coming to Z10 with 10.1 OS Update

Two months after it announced it would support the platform, Skype has launched its BlackBerry 10 app. Currently, the app is available as a preview build and support is limited to the BlackBerry Q10 and Z10 owners will have to wait until the update comes to their handset in the coming weeks.


The new app has been tuned to take advantage of the Q10's smaller screen, integrating tightly with BlackBerry's phonebook by automatically importing a user's Skype contacts. It also supports the BlackBerry Hub, displaying chat requests, file transfers, and friend requests in BlackBerry's unified communications app. [via]
