Great news for those of us who use Skype on Windows Mobile devices. Skype for Windows Mobile 3.0 Beta is no longer Beta as the Gold release was yesterday, and to celebrate some additional features were added to this great application.

New and exciting for the release is the ability to share files with other Skype users, including photos, MP3 files, MS Office files or any other documents. On top of that, Skype for WinMo can handle SMS messages much more economically then your standard mobile operator. Sadly, not for free like the voice calls (assuming you are using WiFi) but still a good value. Skype is one of the few applications which I use every single day on multiple platforms, and I have watched it evolve from a one note Internet Telephony program to a full and powerful communications suite…and it’s FREE. Tough to beat that.

Skype 3.0 for Windows Mobile runs on Windows Mobile 5, 6, and 6.1, with or without a touchscreen and requires 12MB of storage The installer may be downloaded from HERE.

Remember, data usage costs still apply when using Skype, if relevant.

Also use iPhone/iPod Touch? Check out the new Skype for iPhone v1.1 release HERE.
