Official BlackBerry Skype App Confirmed For May

skype_logo We let you know a few details about Skype for BlackBerry a bit back but the latest news off the wire is a bit more promising. So far they are actually calling it a BlackBerry client and not just a generic J2ME client which is a step forward. They did not release as many details about the BlackBerry app as the iPhone app which will have audio calls over Wi-Fi and maybe video too. Not sure how that would work since you would have to be looking at the front and back of the phone at the same timeā€¦

The only other tidbit I found interesting is that the client will be free. I am just waiting to see if this will implement true VOIP over data or it will just be another dial-around or call-back Skype application.
