Skype video calls officially available for the iPhone
30 December, 2010

Today Skype went official with the new version of its iPhone application that brings free video calling to all its subscribers. It works over both 3G and Wi-Fi networks the new Skype app even lets you have video calls with desktop users.

Obviously video-calling has enjoyed remarkable success this year, accounting for 40 percent of all Skype-to-Skype minutes for the first six months so bringing it to the mobile world seems like the smart thing to do. Plus, being completely free of charge (though data transfer rates do apply) and with no Facetime-like restrictions it might actually become the video service to use.

Also, with the rumored announcement of video-calling for other platforms you would be able to use it with a much larger number of people, which will drastically increase its usefulness.

Right now owners of the iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, and iPod touch 4th generation with iOS 4.0 or later can go to the App Store and give the video-enabled version of Skype a try. Sharing your experience with us in the comments section below is encouraged.

大致解释一下就是现在Skype的最新版本的Apps在Iphone上总算可以通过Iphone的数据连接(wifi或者3G)上网功能进行视频聊天，甚至可以和桌面电脑用户的Skype进行视频聊天。

文中最后提到只要你有Iphone 4/3gs 或者Touch 第四代的，并且安装了IOS4.0或者更高的版本即可从苹果的App Store中享受视频版的Skype. IP只有4才有副摄像头，3GS和Touch装这个根本就是个废的

手机(移动)免费视频聊天总算来了（数据花费自己承担）

前2天有报道才说中国阻碍了wifi发展，希望这次不要影响3g视频通话的发展

现在好多手机都不带前置摄像头，差点还以为已经学会了用屏幕直接取景……
