In a quiet update to their free iOS app, Skype has added the ability to make video calls over WiFi and, yes, 3G. Two way calls can be made from iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS and iPod touch 4th gen. If you have an iPad or iPod touch 3rd gen, you can still receive video calls. Video calls may be made in portrait or landscape orientations, just like FaceTime. But unlike FaceTime, you can use it over 3G (if your data plan allows).

When Sling released their much anticipated SlingPlaye for the iPhone last year, it was an instant disappointment because AT&T refused to allow it to operate over their 3G network. A little less than two weeks ago, AT&T finally reversed their position. Sling submitted an updated version of their app to Apple, and today it finally cleared the Apple approval process. The new 1.2 listed “3G streaming enabled” as its only improvement.

The iPhone and iPod touch have a pretty good amount of storage space on them, but let’s face it—your music library is likely larger than the space you have on your device. So, you have to pick and choose which songs you want to have with you at all times. That problem must have bugged Simplify Media, because they’ve got an app to help keep you and your music together forever.

The app, also called Simplify Media, lets you stream songs from your home computer and even your friends’ computers; up to 30 in total. All you have to do is download the app for your Mac, Linux, or PC, create an account on their website, and then get the app for the iPhone or iPod Touch.

It seems o2 are blaming Apple for a shortage of UK iPhone 3G stock. In an e-mail response to an inquiring customer, Steve Shurrock, sales director of o2 had the following to say,

“We have been working continuously with them [Apple] to get as much stock for the UK as possible. Unfortunately, they have only been able to supply a small proportion of the number of phones we asked for, because they are launching simultaneously in 22 countries.”

Shurrock goes onto say that he is confident that the volume of iPhones will increase over time and become sufficient for customer demand.

More after the break.

I was awoken this morning by a text message from o2, which read, “iPhone 3G is here. The iPhone you have been waiting to early upgrade to. Order from 8am today.” Yup! If you’re an o2 customer/wannabe customer, you can now pre-order the iPhone 3G at o2′s website! o2 say that pre-orders are on a more »

Steve, calling it the phone that changed phones, praised the iPhone’s 90% customer satisfaction and 98% mobile browsing and overall greatness. What could come next? Steve talks about them running out of iPhones, and their next mountain to climb. It’s a big mystery…and it is 3G. The iPhone in more countries. Steve acknowledges that they are in use in many more countries than the six they sell them in. Lastly, the iPhone needs to be more affordable. I’m just giddy.

Today, they introduce iPhone 3G, thinner, tapered, with a black plastic back, solid metal buttons, same gorgeous 3.5″ display, a flush headphone jack, dramatically improved audio, and 3G. It looks like the mockups we’ve been seeing.

Steve says the 3G increased browser speeds. 21 seconds on 3G, and after a long long wait and some whistling, 59 seconds on EDGE. 3G is 2.8 times faster. iPhone 3G is 36% faster than the Nokia 3G phone.

The Times has said that the 3G iPhone being released by Apple soon could cost as little as £100 in the UK. Analysts have predicted the drop in price due to ineffective marketing strategies such as “network exclusivity deals” in Europe. Apple had estimated that the iPhone would sell between 500,000 and 600,000 units across more »

Yesterday, AT&T announced that it plans to release its High Speed Uplink Packet Access (HSUPA) in six more US markets by the end of June, completing its deployment of HSPA. Once that task is completed, the company says that the 3G service will offer uplink speeds of between 500 and 800Kbps, which will complement the more »

The iPhone 2.0 firmware is looking even more promising, with the inclusion of photo geotagging. For those not familiar with Geotagging, it’s the process of giving a photo an accurate location on a global map — for some, it may sound like a pointless process — but it is in fact a very useful one. more »

It looks like there are only a minority of Americans who are interested with the upcoming iPhone, if we’re to look into the March survey conducted by ChangeWave on 3,600 respondents. Results of the survey showed that only 14% of the respondents are waiting for the release of the new iPhone, while another 11% indicated more »
