Skype for iPhone: It’s official!

 

 

So it looks like Skype is coming to the iPhone tomorrow, March 31st, and for the blackberry in May. Well I guess this explains why there is no native 64bit Linux version yet. To busy porting to mobile devices

But good news none the less. iPhone users will be abe to download Skype’s software for free,  make free calls to other Skype users, but will be charged as normal for calls to non Skype users.

It will be interesting to see how Skype will measure up to the competition, namely Fringe, which can handle x-network IM and includes the ability to make calls to Skype buddies, and has been available on the iPhone for months now.

Some features:

  • Ability to use address book for Skype contacts
  • Chat
  • Taking a photo from within Skype to serve as your avatar image(iPhone only)
  • Pulling a picture in from the camera roll(iPhone only)
  • Ability to join a conference call
  • Missing Features:

  • Although you cant actually initiate a conference call from iPhone skype, you can join one in progress.
  • No SMS
  • Cannot purchase Skype Credits
  • Cannot take more than 1 call at a time
  • No file transfers
  • cannot listen to your Skype Voicemail
  • Hopefully we will see some of these features in the new version, but for now just waiting until tomorrow to actually
    try this out and see how well it works.
