Niklas Zennstrom, founder of Skype, has dashed mobile afficianados' hopes for Skype on a handset running something other than Windows Mobile in the near future, notably on the symbian platform. Zennstrom told Finland's national daily on Thursday that problems porting the wildly popular application and a lack of suitable handsets meant Skype won't appear for mobile users for the forseeable future. We've been hurt before, though... :-)
