How soon “real soon now” is I’m not sure, but I am excited by the news. Apple’s blocked the ability to make VOIP calls from a 3G handset for a while now, with the not-so-secret intention of shielding AT&T from customers who’d try and drop their minute plan entirely, relying only on Skype for their incoming and outgoing calls. A small compromise was reached in that the current version of Skype for iPhone can call out over WiFi, but that means without a hotspot, you’d be beholden to AT&T’s outrageous rates.

With this new announcement – which Skype assures us will contain “CD quality sound” – iPhone users have a new reason to rejoice.

As usual, though, this raises the question: do we really want to be seen in hi-def?

Look at the two models they got for this photo. Of course they look good in HD, they’d look good anywhere!

Personally, I have a hard enough time communicating with people in lo-def. Fixing my hair, washing my face…what a hassle. For hi-def I guess I’m gonna have to buy a makeup kit or something. Or maybe just grow a huge beard. Do beards look good in hi-def?
