So, with all that explanation on how Skype + 3G works, how do we explain this AP article? From what you guys are saying, it sounds like what we have NOW. So what could be new (A new version of the free iPhone app for Skype SA will let users make and receive video calls)?

SAN FRANCISCO: A new version of the free iPhone app for Skype SA will let users make and receive video calls. Users of the Internet calling and messaging service will be able to use both WiFi and 3G cellular networks. FaceTime software, which comes with iPhones, works only with WiFi.

The app, which is being released through Apple Inc's App Store, will let iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS users make free video calls to other Skype users who are using the app or have access to the feature using Skype on their computer or other videophone.

This is not the first third-party app for the iPhone to allow free video calling over a cellular network. Apps such as Fring and Tango offer the capability as well, although neither has as many users as Skype. - AP
So, I'm wondering if Skype will release some new video calling feature and if we could get that on the N900 to close the issue on our 3G video call!
