Looks like yet another Android handset is headed to Koodo Mobile in Canada. It's going to be the LG Optimus One Skype Edition which should be similar to the original model. Of course, one exception is that it'll have Skype pre-loaded on the device so you'll be able to video chat with its front-facing camera. Look out for it soon where it should cost you $175 contract-free.
