Skype is now available for the Android platform, but only on devices running Android version 2.1 or later.
The Android app lets users make free Skype
-to-Skype calls, as well as send and receive IMs for free. Calls to phones are charged at Skype’s standard rates. The app is capable of making calls on both Wi-Fi and 3G, though all carriers except Verizon are limiting it to Wi-Fi.

Skype for iPhone, which was launched in May 2010, is one of the most successful apps on the iOS platform, and we expect the Skype for Android to become a hit, too.
Android users can install Skype over on skype.com/m or through the Android Market. Check out an introductory video below.
Update: To clarify, Skype for Mobile has long been available to Verizon customers. Today’s release makes available Skype for the Android platform as a whole. Non-Verizon subscribers will now be able to download Skype for Android through the Android Marketplace — regardless of carrier — as long as the device runs Android 2.1 or higher
