If you had little interest in video-calling before Apple’s own FaceTime service was introduced with the iPhone 4, we’d be surprised to hear it changed your mind.  Good software and decent enough quality couldn’t hide the fact it was seriously limited, thanks to Wi-Fi only connections to other iPhone 4′s or Macs.

Now, after a surprisingly long wait, Skype have introduced their own video calling option inside version 3 of their iPhone app.  As well as being usable over Wi-Fi, you can make video calls over 3G too; and not just to iPhone 4s but to desktop computers, no matter what OS they’re running.  You’ll need to have an iPhone 4, 3GS or the latest 4th generation iPod Touch for two-way video fun, which works in portrait or landscape orientation.

Now, although the introduction of video-calling in Skype isn’t going to change many people’s opinion of the service, it will bring it out into the open thanks to the sheer amount of people who already have the software installed on their computers.

If you’ve not already got Skype installed you can find it here, but if you have, just search for updates on your device or in iTunes.  Let us know what you think, as we’re not going to be testing it out until later today.
