Skype 'coming to iPhone soon'

Richard Cartledge

I bet its crap 

I bet it has no or limited ability to make skypeout calls. just IM chat. Skype stupidly signed agreements with mobile operators such as 3 to say that they would do exclusive deals with them.

"Apple to shaft AT&T shocker" 

Alert

Year, right. Apple may have won on the tethering (eventually) but I think AT&T will shit in their soup before they let Skype on there.

I'll stick with Fring!

Tony Martin

I use Skype already 

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

Scott Mckenzie

Better than Fring... 

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

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.
