Skype today announced that its Android app now supports video calls on selected devices
Esato News
Skype has updated its Android app and added video call as one of the new features. Currently only few handsets are supporting video call and these are
HTC Desire S,
Google Nexus S,
Sony Ericsson Xperia neo and
Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro. The requrement for using the video call feature is that the device has a front facing camera and are running Android version 2.3 Gingerbread or later. We have tested the app on our Xperia Neo and it seems to be working as advertised.During video call it is possible to switch active camera from front to back as well as turning the video camera off. In the settings menu, video call quality can be toggled between High and Low. Both quality settings record video in 320x 240 resolution but High uses 95% of the 1 GHz Xperia Neo CPU. Lowering the quality to Low reduces CPU usage to approximately 65%. Both modes will drain your battery quicker than you like.Skype for Android is available from

I'm wondering why the Xperia Play isn't mentioned when it has a front cam.
