Skype has announced when Verizon launches the iPhone tomorrow you can download Skype to your new iPhone to make calls to regular phones, as well as free video calls to other people on Skype.

Skype claims they have also taken a small, but significant step in terms of the technology our iPhone app uses: it now supports H.264. What does this mean in reality? It means you can now use it to make video calls to the full range of Skype devices, including TVs from Panasonic and Samsung.

It’s significant because it’s another step towards Skype's goal to bring video to as many devices and platforms as possible. For now, it’ll mean that you can make that video call to your grandmother from wherever you are.
