The internet telephony unit of eBay Inc (Skype) is in plans to lauch a service tailored for the iPhone on Tuesday. A similar service will be launched for Blackberry users in May. This is part of an effort by Skype to move beyond internet telephony and desktops.

Most popular advanced telephones are part of Skype’s plans for expansion. Skype has more than 400 million users. According to Skype CEO Scott Durchslag, the application will succeed on the iPhone, most probably. The feature rich offer from Skype will appeal to new as well as existing customers.
Many customers request for the Skype to be available on the iPhone. With a huge pent up demand, there may be a huge usage of Skype’s new iPhone service. The launch is scheduled to be in Las Vegas. Whether Skype will offer video with the iPhone is still under consideration.

There is a high bar on quality. If Skype bridges the cellphone and laptop cameras there might be a video telephony revolution.
