Skype has announced a version of its application for Google Android and says an iPhone Skype program isn't far behind, reports the Denver Post.

"Skype's iPhone application is still under development. Engineers are still working on cutting the amount of power the application consumes." says Scott Durschlag, Skype's chief operating officer.

It is unclear whether Apple will allow Skype to utilize 3G for calls. Apple has baned VOIP Internet applications from connecting to the cellular network, leaving them functional only when the user is using Wi-Fi.

Even if the VOIP applications have been banned by Apple - guess what - thanks to our Cydia and Installer community, you can now use a small feature that enables you in fooling the iPhone OS to "think" you are on wi-fi when in fact you are using the 3g or edge connections - :P so thank you Skype for making all of us use less minutes on our plans and more of the $30 data plan ... LOLOL
