Nimbuzz has reportedly selected Voxbone to enable its users to make voice calls to their contacts on any IM and VoIP service, including Gizmo5 (News - Alert)

great news even though it's not ideal yet--based on some of the comments. Step in the right direction though.

Skype will release a version of its VoIP application for the iPhone and the iPod touch on Tuesday, according to The Wall Street Journal.

Sure glad we aren't having the problems they are having in Germany! I love the Skype iPhone app!

at least we're better off than the folks in Germany, where the country's official provider, T-Mobile, wants to ban use of the Skype app on both its 3G network and its extensive Wi-Fi hot spot network. Not only has T-Mobile said that the use of Skype is forbidden, but it's also declared its intent to cancel the contracts of any users who use workarounds to run the program anyway. The company's reasoning is that the program's high data use would choke the network infrastructure and that it violates the customer contract, prohibiting VoIP--a clause apparently used by all other German mobile service providers as well.

Months after teasing us at CES with an announcement of Skype's native VoIP client for the iPhone, the free Skype for iPhone will finally be available to download from the iTunes App Store sometime on Tuesday. Calls on Skype for iPhone work only if you're in range of a Wi-Fi network, so your call quality will in part be at the mercy and strength of wireless networks nearby--calls will not work over the cell phone network on the iPhone (but chatting will.) Another imperfect, but still neat, feature is the ability to accept incoming conference calls. While you won't be able to initiate a call, we're told, you will be able to jump on one if a buddy invites you in.

a little more detail about the new iPhone app for Skype coming out this week. Sounds very interesting!!

Supposed to be released today, it could be a week or it could be a month but eventually Google Voice is going to be released and it might hop right into the crosshairs of mobile carriers.
