BlackBerry® PlayBook™

Downloaded free Skype on Playbook. Not able to log in to use it. It recognizes my account which I have had for a year but it does not log me in to use it?

Where are you downloading this Skype from... link?

[dvalliere]

from Skype download page

[swotam]

There is no Skype for the PlayBook, so whatever you're downloading isn't going to work. If and when it does become available, you would get it from AppWorld, not the Skype website.

[JSanders Resident Expert]

Exactly.

I'd still like to know what you think you installed.

[aandras · Accepted solution]

Possibly an Android app?

[JSanders Resident Expert]

Probably, but you can't load Android apps in that manner.

[aandras]

You never know what others may do.

[dvalliere]

ok thanks. Thats what I was thinking might be the issue. That is disappointing.

Don't bother trying the SkypeBETA so-called playbook android app. It doesnt work, but worse still it's designed cor a smart phone. It insists on a phone number which is bizarre if you are on wifi on broadband!
