Skype is launching a brand new version of its iPhone app that includes the ability to turn on video in any Skype chat.
Users can make free Skype-to-Skype video calls over AT&T’s 3G network and on Wi-Fi. Android phones are not yet compatible.
Video chatting is already popular among people who use Skype on their computers, accounting for 40 percent of all Skype minutes during the first half of this year. However, Skype's mobile phone users have been unable to make and receive video calls until now.
The beauty of the app is that it brings free video calling to iPhone 3G devices, iPad and iPod Touch, all of which couldn't run Apple's video calling feature.
Skype’s new app is compatible with recent iPhones and iPod Touches. Recent iPads can receive video calls, but not make them.
