Microsoft announced today that they will be rolling out a
version of Skype for devices running on Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich to 5.1
Lollipop. According to the latest statistics, Android 4.0.3 still has 0.5%
market share, while KitKat and Lollipop have 12.8 and 5.7 respectively. With
this update, Microsoft is targeting approximately 22% of the Android market.
The update is not available just yet but will start rolling
out in the next few days. It is,
however, available to those who choose to join the Skype Insiders Program.
Microsoft said in a blog post that this optimized version of
Skype "is lighter on both disk and memory consumption, allowing for
greater speed and better audio and video quality on lower-end Android devices,
as well as increased performance in challenging network conditions."
