Great! Skype has finally released an app for android. Just log in and away you go, with all your contacts, etc. in place.

Unfortunately for me it is for Android 2.1 or higher and I’m still stuck on 1.6, thanks a lot Sony Ericsson!

Coverage Mapper
Main Coverage Mapper Screen
Coverage Mapper is designed to run in the background on your phone while you’re moving around, so that it can log the signal strength at various locations, for the purposes of generating an accurate cellular coverage map. A screenshot of the main screen is shown below.
If the application says your screen is off, try restarting your device. Devices running Android 1.5 and 1.6 can have issues with detecting the screen’s state. If rebooting your device does not fix the issue, or you are using Android 2.1 or later, and you are still experiencing this issue, please request help on the forum or through the contact form.

Coverage mapper is a great little android app. It checks the signal strength of users android devices and maps where they are located. After wards this information is uploaded and maps are generated showing signal strength in locations all over the world.

You can set it to only use wi-fi so you won’t even burn up any of your data plan.

Very informative data that the cellular service providers may not want you to know.

It can be downloaded for free in the market just do a search for Coverage Mapper. The more data points delivered the more accurate the maps will be.
