Tomorrow’s The Day For Skype On The iPhone

Wired reports that Skype will announce a version of its software for iPhones on Tuesday. Your VoIP calls will be free to other Skype users; if you call a landline, you’ll pay the same rates as you would with SkypeOut on your PC. The Skype app will even recognize the numbers in your iPhone address book. No video for the time being, though.

If you have a second gen iPod Touch, you’ll be able to use Skype to place calls as well.

I’m gonna have to wait for Skype for Android. Back in January, Skype released Skype Lite, which works on most mobile phones. I didn’t install it on my T-Mobile G1. I’m soooo glad: three months later, the app is rated only 2.5 stars out of 5 in the Android Market. The comments are amusing, but sound desperate and angry. I’ll wait for the real deal.
