Skype coming to Blackberry and iPhone

Are you a big Skype user? Do you own a Blackberry or iPhone? If you answered yes then get exited because Skype is releasing applications for the Blackberry and iPhone. The information has however been floating around for quite a while now. But It’s always better when you get an official announcement. CITIA is fast approaching and it looks like some companies are looking to stir up some excitement about the event before it begins.

By May Blackberry users will now be able to get Skype action on their devices reported by Reuters who talked with Skype’s Chief Operating Officer, Scott Durchslag who verified the software also being available on the iPhone and iPod Touch. So there you have it. Now you can get skype almost anywhere.

In order to use Skype your going to need a data plan which could include extra payments if you don’t already have one. I would be willing to bet that your network provider is going to be loving this. They can now make some good money off you from a new data plan. It’s also worth mentioning that chances are if you have an iPhone you most likely already have a data plan. The iPod touch only works over Wifi.

If your looking for Skype on your mobile device your time has come and while this is already possible on the blackberry side it costs 30 bucks and has some issues. Skype will be free when it launches and will work much better.
