[/img]So let us set this up for you: Skype has been telling everyone
that it'll be making a "series of video-related announcements" at CES
next month... and it's participating in a panel called "Video Calling
Gets Ready for Primetime," so yeah, needless to say, we'd have to
guess that Skype's finally getting ready to enter the mobile video
calling game in a big way. Anyhow, the final piece in the puzzle
filtered into our inbox this morning: a help document on Skype's site
detailing making video calls using Skype for iPhone. We don't know
whether there's a corresponding document out there for Android,
Symbian, or other operating systems, but we're certainly hoping so --
because if these guys come to the table at once with versions for all
the major phone platforms, we've got a feeling they'll be dominating
the mobile-to-mobile and mobile-to-PC video calling market in no time.
Oh, and here's a little trivia fact for you: the Nokia N900 was
actually the first device to get official video calling support from
Skype, so this isn't a first for these guys -- but it'll certainly be
the first time they've taken it to a mass market. Seems like they'll
probably have the MeeGo build ready to go, at least.
[Thanks, Nelson]
