Skype - Coming To An iPhone Near You

It's official! A true Skype app for the iPhone will be released to the app store. The rumor is sometime tomorrow. Being a true Skype addict, I am very happy about this.

The interface is very much iPhone.

With this application, you can do both text and voice chats. There are a few limitations however. As with the desktop application, you can make free calls to someone on their computer, or make low cost calls to a landline on a pay per minute Skype plan. Although, with the iPhone you can only make calls over wifi. (Not surprising. They are not going to interfere with AT&T cell service. IM's however, will work over 3G) Another minor gripe of mine: The iPhone is capable of taking part in conference calls, however... the iPhone user can not initiate a conference, instead... they must wait to be invited.

Those minor details aside, I cannot wait for this application.
