Skype Video Chat Headed to Apple Devices Next Month?
"Get ready, Apple—the exclusivity of your company's FaceTime video-chatting service for the iPhone might soon be drawing to a close. And it's going to take a service as large as Skype to make the first push into Apple's territory, for rumors are intensifying that the company plans to unveil its own video-chat feature for its mobile apps at the 2011 Consumer Electronics Show in January."
"According to a FAQ page published on the Skype site (it's since been removed), video calls on a device like Apple's iPhone could transpire over both a user's 3G and Wi-Fi connections—that's actually an upgrade from FaceTime, which only officially works across one's Wi-Fi connection."
"The new version of Skype supporting video chat would only work on iOS 4.0 or higher, as well as an iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, a third- or fourth-generation iPod Touch, or an iPad."
