Engadget found out Skype is likely to be introducing video conferencing functionality in it’s upcoming iOS releases. The introduction of these functions bring direct competition to Apple’s FaceTime.
The functionality will be hardware dependent, meaning old iPod Touch/iPhone devices as well as the iPad will only support incoming videostreams. It will also be possible to switch between the available camera’s. Another important difference between FaceTime and Skype will be that Skype is not limited to Wi-Fi.
The official announcement is likely to take place at CES next month.
