- By Boydo in Android, Communications, Connectivity, Instant Messaging, Mobile, Skype, Skype, Technology, VoIP, Wi-Fi, Wireless
Just a quick one for tonight. For a while, many Android users have been left out in the cold without an official Skype client.

Another quick one for this evening. The stock installation on the Samsung Galaxy S does suffer from lag and there have been a number of fixes that have gone some way to treat the symptoms but not the cause of the problem. Having said that, solutions such as “one click lag fix” in the Google …
