Microsoft's Skype for Windows Phone 8, an app tweaked for use with the new operating system, is now available to download as a preview.
(Credit: Microsoft) The popular VoIP program, which facilitates video and messaging across the Internet for free, has now been spotted in the Windows Phone store. You cannot search for it in the usual method, but as reported by WP Central, the link is now available for those considering a shift to a Windows 8 mobile device.
The free 8MB download is a preview release, and as Microsoft says, "experiences are not final." Some popular features, including a user being able to receive call and message notifications even when the app is closed, are still under development.
Until the app release becomes official, you may also experience issues with call reliability and potentially buggy features.
