No more Skype Lite and Skype for Windows Phones

Skype has pulled Skype Lite and Skype for Windows Phones, meaning they can no longer be downloaded and used. Existing users can continue to use them, however.
Skype blogger Peter Parkes explained that the decision to remove the software wasn’t taken lightly, but had to be done for a number of reasons:
Skype Lite only works in a small number of countries. Where it does work, making a call requires you to use up your allocation of minutes from your mobile network, making the Skype-to-Skype calls sort-of-free-per-minute rather than actually-free-per-minute. And with the latest version of the Windows Mobile OS, it’s been increasingly challenging for us to maintain an app which behaves as you’d expect on a wide range of handsets without working with a mobile operator partner.
Skype don’t have a replacement in the works, instead it is working with different companies to create “truly great” Skype experiences. Eventually, that may include replacing these two solutions. For now, Skype for Symbian and a new collaboration with Verizon seem to be the focus.

Nexus One Problems

Nexus One Problems Google is struggling to provide adequate customer service for the Nexus One (aka Google phone), according to reports. The Google Mobile forums are brimming with unanswered queries and problems, as customers turn to Google itself for support.

InfoWorld writes of the concerns: Google appears to be only accepting e-mail customer queries, to which it pledges to reply in one to two days — far too long, say most people who are complaining online.
