It's been a very exciting week with the hacking of the Walkman 3.0 for the P1i, but it seems now it can get even better with Skype's announcement to release their official client for selected phones. Although the Sony Ericsson P1i was not one of the targeted phones for release, I saw the above image under phones from Motorola.

The MotoRIZR Z8, as many of you may know, runs on the UIQ 3.1 platform, and shares many common elements with the Sony Ericsson P1i. With Skype's release of their official Skype client for the Z8, would that be the official UIQ 3 version of the Skype client? And in any case, why isn't there support for the P1i while the Z8 is offered a version to be downloaded? Questions, questions...

I'll take a fresh look at it later today - currently on my study leave and I've got to make good use of my time :)

Update:
Thanks for elidoperezmd for the tip - the version is Z8 specific because all the keys are mapped out according to the Z8 keypad, which is unfortunately not QWERTY style. Not that it''s too big of a problem, I'm sure I could find a way past it. But I think it's safe to say that most users won't need to try the app out - it's not of much use anyway (See my Nokia N82 review of the Skype client).
