You may have seen other apps offering calls over 3G, but we ‘re holding ours back for a little bit longer. Why? So that we can give you the very best audio quality we can. When our 3G-capable Skype for iPhone app is released, it ‘ll let you make calls in wideband audio, giving you greater clarity and fidelity “ because that ‘s what you expect from Skype.

That ‘s an excerpt from a post yesterday at Skype Blogs, with an update on their plans for updating Skype for iPhone now that Apple is allowing VOIP calls over 3G.  There are already a couple of iPhone VOIP apps that have been updated to take advantage of this new capability.

Better call clarity and quality certainly seems worth a little extra wait, though I ‘m not sure quality is something the Skype app has been known for thus far in its time in the App Store.
