Skype finally bringing video calling to iPhone 4
Skype finally bringing video calling to iPhone 4
Skype has been telling everyone that it'll be making a "series of
video-related announcements" at CES next month... and it's
participating in a panel called "Video Calling Gets Ready for
Primetime," so yeah, needless to say, we'd have to guess that Skype's
finally getting ready to enter the mobile video calling game in a big
way. Anyhow, the final piece in the puzzle filtered into our inbox this
morning: a help document on Skype's site detailing making video calls
using Skype for iPhone. We don't know whether there's a corresponding
document out there for Android, Symbian, or other operating systems,
but we're certainly hoping so -- because if these guys come to the
table at once with versions for all the major phone platforms, we've
got a feeling they'll be dominating the mobile-to-mobile and
mobile-to-PC video calling market in no time.
Oh, and here's a little trivia fact for you: the Nokia N900 was
actually the first device to get official video calling support from
Skype, so this isn't a first for these guys -- but it'll certainly be
the first time they've taken it to a mass market. Seems like they'll
probably have the MeeGo build ready to go, at least
