Thanks for your comments. Our mission is to offer video tutorials for every topic we can cover and for every range of user. While you clearly already understand this concept, there are people who will find it valuable. With over 700 single tutorials and over 1000 "series" tutorials on the site, it stands to reason that not everything on the site is suitable for everyone. If you're looking for information on using Skype on Android, we of course have that too: http://www.butterscotch.com/tutorial/How-To-Use-Skype-On-Your-Android-Phone
Best,
