This is an article that everyone should be excited about. When I read it I was overjoyed because I plan on traveling overseas and this definitely applies to communication.
The internet calling service, Skype, is moving to mobile phones. It plans to make it's software immediately available for the iPhoe and the iPod touch. Beginning in May, the software will be available for various BlackBerry phones. Although there are other phones that offer the Skype software, it does not offer all of the service's features.
If you're not familiar with the Skype software let me give you a brief summary. Skype on the computer enables users IM other Skype users for free. This service will also be available, for free, on the phones. Users will pay lower rates than phone companies when they call landlines or other mobile phones.
Now, I know it sounds too good to be true. And, yes, there are a few stipulations. For instance, the Apple users have to be connected to a Wi-Fi network
