Skype to launch service for iPhone, BlackBerry

- Skype, the Internet telephone unit of eBay Inc, is planning to launch its service for iPhone users on Tuesday and for BlackBerry in May as part of its effort to expand beyond desktop computers.

Skype has been pushing to make its service work on the most popular advanced phones with an aim to expending its more than 400 million users who were mostly lured by the promise of cheap and sometimes free calls made using its computer application.

Skype Chief Operating Officer Scott Durchslag said he has high hopes for the application's success on Apple Inc's popular iPhone as he expects Skype's most feature-rich mobile offering to appeal to new and existing customers.

Shame windows mobile users have had this for quite a while

(And can use it via a wireless network if the phone has wifi instead of hammering a data connection)

Would this be compatabile with the lg renoir? Ill try it out anyway.

The Blackberry one sounds quite good but the apps on the BB are nothing compared to the iPhone ones...

Must have been in development for a long time though so I'm looking forward to it!

I'm pretty sure nothing works for this phone and never will, atleast from my experience
I bought a Touch HD aswell for the pure reason that I could get Skype over Wifi.
