A small but quite interesting update to Skype app for iPhone got pushed out today. Version 3.0.1 builds on the video calling capability that was added in December by adding support for a wider range of Skype clients and devices, including Skype for TV.

If the idea of making a video call from some far corner of the world to a family TV sounds good to you, you will need a TV that specifically supports Skype. A number of Panasonic and Samsung sets will do the job, while a compatible webcam is required too.

The joy of canadian iPhone users and Skype fans was too short after release of the application’s mobile version. It seems that Skype has a patent problem linked with a codec which is used by the application and this is why they can not offer it in the local version of App Store. The company did not reveal any information so there is nothing left for the canadian users but to find a way to get to the application somehow.

Skype, Inc. has just released their official Skype application for the iPhone and iPod touch.

Skype is a very popular voice-over-IP (VOIP) and instant messaging application that allows you to make phone calls over the internet. Calls can be made to other Skype users or to those with regular landline phones.

As restricted by Apple, the voice-over-IP phone calls will only work over Wi-Fi and not over the cellular connection. iPod Touch owners with a microphone can also take advantage of the VOIP calling.

Frustratingly enough, Skype app is crash-prone, it crashes way too much at this stage. We have nothing to complain since it is FREE but it can be a pain to use it as a desktop-skype replacement. You can now call those 1800 numbers for free from Skype.

The app itself resembles closely to the desktop variant including login sounds, look and feel and ringers. Take a quick peek at the screenshots and download it from iTunes AppStore.
