    It's desired so when calling other skype users (or other landlines if the user has such a plan) on other continents is loads cheaper.

    I have not heard of any ETA, but I have heard about limitations (what type of connection, etc.) imposed by the carriers. IM+ for Skype and iSkoot are other options.

    Jees dude that would be huge,you could make calls through your data plan ,via voip ... just subscribe to a skype plan and your set... the iskoot app was not too good in my case,iskoot is good for someone making international calls,anyway yeah back to your question-it was supposed to be in may...who knows ?

    Yes it is but it suppose to come out last month! People chat eachother on it and you can finally do it via your phone with skype! Easier and faster!

    I don't know when the release of the app hope soon! I use it a lot to talk and chat with friends in the states and western Canada!

    Mobile phones already has the application make for it and many other device or similar program works on bold but as for skype one of the common on is the next step

    It was supposed to be available in May but nothing came of it, no news whatsoever - I posted about this a little while ago and nobody seemed to know anything - keeping an eye on the blogs is probably your best bet.
