Hi,
I havent got one myself, but have looked into them before, they do not use android, they use the BB operating system, which, at present doesnt support skype. However BB have launched a new operating system BB10 which i believe does support skype. There is not yet a release date for BB10 for playbook, but it has been promised.
HTH

Apparently web browser version of skype works, not tried it myself (and probably voice only)
This is the best site for anything playbook/blackberry related

Personally, I'd love to see better bluetooth support and a better browser, other than that it still fantastic even though its been out 2 years.0 -
