Skype on mytouch 4g

[foghorn67]

Has anybody installed the Skype app on the MyTouch 4G? I'm aware the video calling is supported yet, just want to know if you can make skype to skype calls and use IM.

Can't install it on the POS Vibrant.

I have a friend who has it on her Mytouch. Why won't it work on your Vibrant?

skype does work in the vibrant but you need 2.2 pretty much any froyo rom will run skype.

if you go to mytouch4g xda forums, someone posted a version of skype that works for video calling. I tried it on my sister's a while back and it did work.

Someone I work with said that Skype video calling works on the mytouch 4g. I just wanted a second opinion since a Google search shows a lot of complaints that it doesn't
