I think skype should build an app using the new iPhone SDK. I know there are ways to use skype already on your ipod touch but they look complicated or they don’t look like they would work well on the ipod touch. My other concern is that you have to either have to use the web browser to access your skype account or you have to hack your ipod touch. The app should be available for either free download or pay download on the new app store that Apple is launching on itunes. The app should make it so people who have a skype account can make and resave calls from people calling your skype number. The app should be user friendly. I also think that the app should only we available for download to ipod touch users. I say this so AT&T doesn’t get angry at people who own iphone's and use skype instead of using there cell network. I think this will make it so AT&T will try to prevent skype from ever making this app a reality. I don’t know if this can be done. some of you may be saying wait a minuet the ipod touch dusent have a microphone well this is true but the ipod touch dose have technology built into it that allows a microphone to be added if u connect it to the dock connector slot on the bottom. There could be two kinds on devices made. One that would be just a microphone and then you would have to connect head phones to the head phone jack to here the conversation and the second being a peas that would let you connect an Apple iphone Stereo Headset to you ipod touch so you could have a Stereo Headset instead of having to have a microphone and head phones. The peas would connect to the Dock connector slot and look like the cord that connects your ipod to your computer but instead of a long cord there would be a very very sort cord with a 3.5-mm stereo headphone jack at the end so u could plug in ether the Apple iPhone Stereo Headset or a third party Stereo Headset. What do people think about this, is this a brilliant idea or a dumb one pleas let me know.

Awesome Idea... I think this is a perfect solution to those people who are Verizon customers but want the iPhone features... This will give not only Apple a new reason to sell the iPod Touch but Skype a whole new line of customers... I am one of those Verizon customers... Because I have had bad experiences with AT&T, I will not buy the iPhone however I did want the functionality of the iPhone and its APPs so I bought a, iPod Touch in hopes of an application such as this to soon be developed... Your right though... The only people who would not like this is the sole distributer of iPhone service AT&T... But I think that once apple notices that people will still buy the iPhone because it is also a phone, and more people will start to invest in iPod Touch than this will turn out to be very profitable for apple... Plus they love to charge for everything and this gives them a reason to start producing accessories for the iPod Touch...

In case you are not aware, currently there is nothing stopping you to use your "Skype To Go" number on any phone to save on call costs when Skype calls are FREE or cheaper rates than another call plan on another phone.

This does NOT replace a need for an application, but....it can save money.

If you had one of those devices that Alex mentioned, then all you would need is a 'headphone w/microphone' set and you'd be good to go?

This could be the beginning of the end of cellular.

Or is that just way over-exaggerated?

Here's the link to the new earbuds from Apple with microphone. Compatible only with the 2nd generation iPod touch.

-S.

I fully support your suggestion. I would love to see it happen. I would probably get rid of my mobile phone after I bought an ipod touch. I think, (if it gets off the ground) it could potentially be a revolution in communication, particularly it terms of cost.

Please Skype, do develop this app. I would not have any problem what so ever for paying a bit of money for it. (Even though I think it should be free as skype is a freeware).

Doesn't that cost the same amount of money I would pay for simply calling my friends from my mobile ?

Can you normally call you friends computer, since it has no Telephone number?

How much would your mobile charge you to call a landline in Italy?

How about Nothing and the same applies for 35 other countries when using Skype To Go on and that same mobile, when you have a Unlimited World subscription.
