I had tried this link Try this link:
http://www.skype.com/go/getskype-nokiatablet

and downloaded Skype that way. What happens is that the application manager says "Preparing for installation" and then nothing happens for a long long time so I assume it is doing nothing.

First I tried installing by the selection to use Skype which said Skype needed to be installed. When that didn't work I flashed the OS and updated to the latest version of Diablo.

Oh, and I also have an internet connection and can use the browser.

I tried using the application manager but it would just say that the repositories could not be loaded.

Then I tried downloading Skype from Skype. If I click on the downloaded Skype it loads the application manager and it stays stuck at the preparing to download screen.

If I tried loading Skype into Application manager by Telling it to install from file and selecting the file, the same thing happens.

When I say it just sits I mean I can leave it for an hour and it does nothing.
