Looks like Om Malik ‘s information last week was spot-on. According to the Wall Street Journal, Skype will release its native iPhone app to the App Store sometime tomorrow.
His GigaOM post today gives us the lowdown on some notable points about the release
If you skip past what is essentially a lot of repackaged information in the WSJ, there are two valuable bits of new information: Skype will use Wi-Fi networks, and calls to landlines will cost 2.1 cents a minute. There is no calling over the 3G network. (Not that AT&T ‘s network can actually take any more pressure.)
SkypeIn and SkypeOut, along with Skype Chat, are the key features of this new version of the Skype application. This is a native P2P application for the iPhone and the iPod touch. It allows group chats and conference calls and is tightly integrated with Apple ‘s Address Book.
Sounds good. I ‘ll be looking out for this one late tonight for sure
