Skype users can save money and stay connected with friends and family over Skype while on the go with their Android-powered devices (which today include the T-Mobile G1 and expected to also work on other future Android devices) as well as more than 100 other Java-enabled mobile phones from LG, Motorola, Nokia, Samsung and Sony Ericsson.

Skype today announced the release of a lite version of Skype (which uses local air time and a mobile internet connection in order to sign in to Skype) for that devices. The updated beta now makes Skype software broadly available to global mobile users, including for the first time, mobile users in the U.S.
