After conquering the iPhone and the PSP (not to forget the N800), Skype has now introduced a new beta application built for cell phones, giving users the freedom to make use of its VOIP services anywhere anytime. The application is not limited to Symbian or Windows Mobile and the beta version is compatible with the endless phones already available supporting Java and encompasses all major manufacturers like Samsung, Nokia, Motorola, and Sony Ericsson.

The beta version brings the most commonly used features of Skype, including presence, chat, receiving calls from Skype users, and also Skypein.

Go ahead, download it, and give it a trial.

Of course, having an iPhone means you have a provider. You can make calls when you want to, anytime you want to--on your dime, of course. But what if you can make calls through Skype for cheap on your iPhone through VoIP? Fring is being touted as the first VoIP client for the iPhone. You can use SkypeOut to call where there's WiFi, and even use instant messengers. Of course, it can only be installed on jailbroken phones, so if you're iPhone hasn't been jailbroken yet, it's something to think about.

Since Fring's only a beta release, the service isn't as smooth yet. Zatz not Funny reports that the conversation they tested became blurred at the end. Still, by the time the service gets fine-tuned, Fring could definitely be a useful iPhone application.

Who said the iPod Touch can't be an iPhone? Well, some really brilliant folks think it can. Lifehacker posted an article on how to transform your iPod Touch, into an iPhone. Well, not physically, but at least functionally.

However, it can't really do everything the iPhone can do. But what it can do, is place calls via VOIP using a freeware application called SIP-VOIP.

The article mentioned the things that you need. A jailbroken iPod touch, a Touchmod mic, and the freeware SIP-VoIP application.  All you really have to do is install the SIP-VOIP application, set up an SIP Account and setup SIP-VoIP to make your calls. Very easy huh? Well, for a more detailed instruction/tutorial, check out their article here.
