The day that many a phone-calling nerd has long awaited has finally arrived, or will arrive tomorrow, anyway: Skype is releasing an iPhone app! Apple and AT&T have imposed restrictions on it, of course: you can't just completely bypass AT&T's cellular network and do all your calling with Skype. That's only allowed if you're connected to the Internet via Wi-Fi. (It's worth noting that the Android-based G1's Skype app doesn't have this restriction.)
David Cousey rages against this, though still thinks that it's "the end of cellular as we know it" -- that essentially we'll all soon just be paying for cellular data plans, and voice data won't be treated specially as it travels over those pipes.
