Skype is launching a new version of its free app for the Apple iPhone that includes video calls. With the new app, scheduled to appear in the iTunes store Thursday, iPhone users will be able to video chat over not just WiFi, but also the AT&T 3G cellular network.
Internet-telephone service Skype may unveil a video-chat service for iPhone and iPad at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas next month. If it's true, the service would compete with Apple's FaceTime service. The rumor stems from documents that were posted on Skype's own website -- and then quickly removed.
It started off as a viral Web sensation, quickly blossomed into a promising investment, and ended up as a dirty joke. Chatroulette is relaunching, but can the clever site clean up its act to appeal to audiences beyond exhibitionists and voyeurs?
