Shape Services Brings Skype To The Palm Pre


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 just got the Pre. After being a long time Windows mobile user (back to when it was called Pocket PC 2002). I haven’t had this much fun with a new phone in ever. i know it is still a 1.0 product and they still have a long way to go before the potential in this thing is realized, but I am a fan.

And now they are coming out with real programs! This might be my first purchase. Thanks for the heads up!!!
