Question on Android Tablet

[nipsip]

I would like to buy a Nexus, maybe the 10 for a friend who would use it for surfing, facebook, email and Skype. Skype is free outside the US, while Google Voice is not and Skype, IME, does not work as well on Android as it does on Windows, so is there anyone out there who has a way to make Skype work better on Android/Nexus since all the Skype the recipient will use will be outside the USA.

So consider something else other than Android??
