It's about time!!

Skype App coming to iPhone on Tuesday, Blackberry in May

Skype for iPhone goes live in Japan

Apparently sound quality is "stellar"!!

It's just a shame it doesn't work over 3G or EDGE. Just works over WiFi which is kind of pointless. Kind of a shame when I'm already looking forward to the next version when the premier version is yet to be released.

All VOIP apps for the iPhone are Wi-Fi only, I think this is a condition of publishing a VOIP app to the App Store... likely an agreement between Apple and the cellphone providers to allow this sort of technology in the store, but not gouge the $$ the cellular companies are making. Mostly, I really only intend to make long distance VOIP calls from where I have Wi-Fi anyway, but, in the case of an emergency, we also have Skype for iPhone (IM+), which is a call back service, so it can be initiated over EDGE, 3G or Wi-Fi... It's a web app (s4iphone.com) or it is available in the App Store.

I admit, Skype still has it's uses on WiFi, but it's no where near it's full potential. Instead of forcing products to not be availible on 3G, why not offer a more competitive service? This just goes to show that they know they would lose business to a superior product. Instead of focusing on banning the applications which violate these terms, make your product better.

This will be great. I have access to WiFi at both work, home, and most cafes/pubs that I frequent.

But will I be able to use my flat-rate North America Skype Out plan? And receive calls on my US phone number?

BS CRTC. They're completely out of touch, and need to be disbanded.

this really sucks - i am a major skype user .. been thinking of jailbreaking for a while - i am thinking now is the time. but makes me nervous ...

What if we have an American iTunes account, can we get it that way?

Once again: what does this have to do with the CRTC??
