Exclusive Heads up: A few months ago, I asked Skype CEO Josh Silverman when was he going to launch the iPhone version of the P2P voice and IM service that has now been downloaded more than 405 million times. He smiled and said, “Stay tuned.” And so we did.
A tipster — a very reliable one — tells me that Skype is almost ready to launch that iPhone version, perhaps as soon as next week. CTIA Wireless, a large mobile industry trade event, kicks off in Las Vegas next Wednesday, so perhaps the announcement will be made there. I am working on getting more details, as well as screenshots of the service.
The biggest clue about Skype’s pending iPhone launch came when iSkoot decided to move on from its Skype-centric strategy. The company had been offering a client that allowed cell phone users to use Skype services. Skype already offers a Windows Mobile version of its client.
As I’ve said before, Skype will have to turn to mobile to keep its growth intact. In recent months, many services, among them Truphone and Nimbuzz, started supporting Skype in their communication clients. However, a standalone Skype client would get a lot of traction among the Skype faithful. In the meantime, I think Skype is slowly flexing its muscles and swatting away little VoIP players with some of its recent moves.
If skype for the iphones uses the same carrier friendly deal as skype for symbian (i.e. using regular cell minutes for calls) it isn’t going to make much headway.
the skype leadership seems overly focused on “presence” and less on voip. Granted, VOIP is probably a bad word for investors but it is what skype does.
[...] There are well over 25,000 application now in Apple’s App Store. But there are still a few notable omissions. One of those is the hugely popular Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) application, Skype. But that could change as soon as next week, GigaOM’s Om Malik has learned. [...]
[...] Incidentally, GigaOm is also reporting that Skype for iPhone may be released as early as next week. [...]
Does this mean I cancel my phone plan and just pay for data? When does that day come?
I’d love to disconnect AT&T. With the sketchy voice quality and increasing regularity of dropped calls, Skype can’t be much worse!
It is against the terms of service to make internet calls over the AT&T network, so you’ll have to access a wifi signal to make/receive calls. Kind of like having an ipod touch, I guess. But if you’re in a decent-sized city, you can’t go five steps without finding a signal. And some cities are completely “wired” for wifi. Hooray for little beams going through our brains 24 hours a day!
And, since apps can’t run in the background on iphones, you’d have to leave Skype open and not let your phone go to sleep to receive unexpected calls. We’re not quiiiiiite there yet, pals.
Travis – just until the 3.0 software comes out. I would expect Skype to use the push notification service.
it only works over wi-fi… the networks have prevented skype from implementing this over the 3G networks, unfortunately.
Ditto
You can already make Skype calls on the iPhone via Fring, but it’s a terrible interface.
Of course, a native client would nice.

after using it on fring on the iphone even over Wifi I am very skeptical on voice quality even on a native Skype app.
The audio quality problem with Fring is not in your hardware or connection. The problem is that from your device, the audio is transferred to Fring-servers, and from Fring-servers to the Skype-network. So the audio has to travel twice.
And I assume that the Fring hack recodes the audio, loosing addtional quality. But that is just my assumption.

[...] There’s an article online claiming that Skype will be coming to the iPhone as early as next week, which is just ridiculous for two main reasons. Number 1: Apple takes forever to approve almost any of its apps. One would expect it might expedite things for a major developer, but not one that threatens to steal bread from its partner, AT&T. This brings us to reason 2: how the frak could this actually hit the market without AT&T throwing a massive hissy fit?! Sure, AT&T charges you for data, but according to their site, you get unlimited data for a flat rate of $30 a month. So as much as I’d love to see the dawn of Skype on the iPhone platform, I just don’t see it as realistic anytime soon.

Very good announce, I was wondering “when?”
UK already has 3G-based Skype phone. Quality is spotty, but it works, and is dead cheap. Bought one just to have to call home, make and take business calls, etc. when in UK. Can call local UK numbers, but kind of high pay-as-you-go rates (can get cheaper monthly, if you’re in the UK and making in-country calls, which Skype won’t do).
Yes, the US carriers are the block to innovation in mobile, they maintain control of the distribution network for phones and they generally will not sell phones that will turn them into a bitpipe. IMHO the writing is on the wall for them, once reliable wifi or even wimax blankets metro areas (which comcast will also be trying to block) then why would you bother with the phone company. As long as it’s more economical to lobby against change in this county, like the car, cable, mobile, and energy industries the US will continue to be an infrastructure laggard.

>>Does anyone still use Skype? Seems like it’s too little too late?<<
You’re right, their userbase is only a paltry 405 million. Hardly worth them going to the office in the morning really ;)
A comment from someone who appears to have never used Skype. Our office ditched Bellsouth’s business telephone service a year ago, and we are saving $400 per month by using Skype to make calls to regular telephone numbers. Call quality over Skype is _better_ than Bellsouth’s call quality.
I still use Skype a lot. I find it very convenient when I am working on my computer, which seems to be a lot of my time. I hate to get a call on my land line or cell while I am working.
I find the quality to exceed either of my other phones. I don’t know why anyone would not use Skype.
Well how does it matter now ………..I have and always use fring ….which always skype calls and convenience of multi messenger

Won’t At&T try to block this somehow with software? This could signal the end to their phone service if it becomes widespread.
If so, then Apple will just sell more iPod Touch’s.
Great – so will this also work for the Ipod Touch ?? That would turn it into a phone and make my (and many others) life a bit easier.
The iPod Touch doesn’t have a microphone so it would hard for you to make voice calls.
The 2nd gen of iPod Touch has a mic port.

I think the new iPhone will be launched this summer (in the US at least) along with the OS 3.0.
It might be worth the wait.
The next iPhone is going to be announced the 8th of June and hopefully, it’s going to be in store in July!
If skype gets on the Iphone I might consider buying it and getting a data only plan.

Good point above about AT&T: it could impact their phone call sales with the iPhone, so they can’t be overly happy with this development. I doubt they’d actively block it, unless they want a lot of angry members.

The word comes through a tipster via GigaOM and it would seem to be as good a time as any with the mobile industry trade event just around the corner.

Skype COO Scott Curschlang revealed that Skype for iPhone was in development back in January.

It wil be interesting to see the final form of this client.
Will it be a full ‘native’ VoIP client, i.e. able to make VoIP calls directly over an IP connection, or will it utilise the iSkoot-like PSTN backend that requires the ‘up’ link to be made over a GSM voice channel?
The latter is much easier to engineer and is much less sensitive with the MNOs (as they still generate some revenue on each call).

It’s about time. I have Skype on a mobile phone and it’s fantastic. Perfect for long distance calls to my girlfriend, and useful for getting cheaper calls to friends. Surprising that Apple (or Skype) haven’t gone for this in a bigger way.

[...] There’s an article online claiming that Skype will be coming to the iPhone as early as next week, which is just ridiculous for two main reasons. Number 1: Apple takes forever to approve almost any of its apps. One would expect it might expedite things for a major developer, but not one that threatens to steal bread from its partner, AT&T. This brings us to reason 2: how the frak could this actually hit the market without AT&T throwing a massive hissy fit?! Sure, AT&T charges you for data, but according to their site, you get unlimited data for a flat rate of $30 a month. So as much as I’d love to see the dawn of Skype on the iPhone platform, I just don’t see it as realistic anytime soon. [...]
