Popular online video chat service Skype, which has recently been facing downtime issues, is all set to bring video calling to Apple’s legendary iPhone. The company has already let people know that it plans on making a "series of video-related announcements" at CES in Las Vegas next month, as well as participating in a panel called "Video Calling Gets Ready for Primetime," so it can be easily assumed that Skype is indeed gearing up to infiltrate the mobile video calling arena.
A probably mistakenly posted help document on Skype's site detailing making video calls using Skype for iPhone is enough evidence to substantiate the arrival of video calling on the iPhone. However such documents for other mobile platforms like Android, Symbian or even BlackBerry are said to not exist at this point in time, however if Skype has plans to launch its mobile video calling features across these networks, it is indeed going to be legendary.
Just imagine being able to seamlessly make video calls across multiple mobile platforms using your favorite smartphones, no matter if they are iPhones, BlackBerrys or Android devices, it is really going to be one awesome feature, and by making this move, Skype could easily be conquering the mobile-to-mobile and mobile-to-PC video calling arena almost instantaneously.
