Last week we heard that Skype had released an iPod Touch and iPhone download that allows users to use their service for making free calls and messages over Wi-Fi.

The free download can be accessed via Apple iTunes and could be seen as a replacement for the need of iPhone’s and cell phones. While we believe that we are not in this position yet, as more and more free WI-Fi services are released it could become possible in time.

Imagine long range free Wi-Fi covering the country or Wi-Fi given free via ISP’s using a sharing service. There are many projects underway and it is more a matter of time than “IF” until will get Wi-Fi almost everywhere.

When you’re in coffee shops and other free Wi-Fi areas, why use your phone when you can call for free with Skype and other voice-over-Internet services?

In theory this seems a great idea, but currently it’s not practical yet. Does VOIP on your phone interest you?
