Depending on how open Android is made, it, or parts of it may run on

OpenMoko. I'm not holding my breath though, I'm more excited by the

native software being written. Having an Android emulator or whatever

gets ported may be good eventually, depending on how good the Android

apps ever become.

Most people don't want to run Skype, they just happen to run it because

everyone they talk to through it uses it. They don't really care other

than it makes calls cheap/free. Maybe they use Skype-in/out but from

what I've seen, most don't. Personally, I prefer a "normal" VoIP (SIP)

client, but I don't have a big group of Skype-using friends.
