News about the iPhone is exciting. It must be shared with the world.

So what could be new (A new version of the free iPhone app for Skype SA will let users make and receive video calls)?

Previous versions of Skype on iPhone couldn't do video. The new version can.

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!

We've had this new feature. For more than a year.

Wow! I'm confused now

I decided to check Skype website http://www.skype.com/intl/en/get-sky...cmp=ch1-iphone

Here's what the 'marketing' says:
With other Skype users you can:
Make free Skype-to-Skype voice and video calls over 3G and WiFi.

So, I'm guessing two things;
1) Somehow, Skype voice and video call will be enabled through 3G???
2) Maybe this (new) application will become standard for all new phones and we could have (skype) video call without data charges??? (re-defining 3G video call)

Well, a Happy New Year 2011 to all you folks! Hopefully we'll get 3G video call and many more great apps soon

Are you serious or are you joking?
Your numbers:

1) we already have it
2) I think, you don't fully understand, what was written on skype's website.
