It was the big tech news yesterday: Skype arrives for the iPhone. My question to everyone: who cares? Sure, there is a niche audience for people who want to make inexpensive international calls from their iPhone, but you’ve got to have WiFi access. You can’t really use the iPhone in any practical manner to receive calls via Skype, since it has to be running. While, with some effort, you could try to use Skype to circumvent use of your monthly minutes, unless you’re a big talker this is probably not an issue. Seems like a lot of hassle for little gain. While the potential to run Skype over 3G in OS 3.0 seems enticing, I’m sure this hole will be plugged shortly. Even then, there is a fairly narrow group that would likely benefit from this.
