Skype 'coming to iPhone soon'

Could land on April Fools' Day...

Ensure Ease of Recovery with Asigra’s Agentless Software

Skype is reportedly set to imminently release an iPhone version of its VoIP service.

According to GigaOM, the eBay-owned service could announce an application for the iPhone as soon as next week, during the wireless CTIA tradeshow in Las Vegas that starts on 1 April.

However, Skype declined to comment on the speculative report.

Skype already offers a Windows Mobile version of its P2P voice and IM client. In January this year the company announced an Android version - dubbed Skype Lite - of its service.

The outfit also hinted earlier this year that an iPhone client was in the works, too. ®

Fring

Big deal Skype on my iPhone. I also use Fring to speak to people on Skype; true it only works over wifi, but then that's all I need it to do.

Better than Fring...

Truphone now supports Skype and is a much more reliable iPhone client than Fring in my experience.

I use Skype already

I already use Skype on my iPod touch via Fring, a free app in the iTunes store.
