Well this is good news. Amongst all the rumors swirling around the Palm Pre, it’s predicted shortages, it being dissed even before it comes out, Reuters reports that it was announced today that Verizon will be carrying the Palm Pre in about six months. Great news, because this phone is touted to be Palm’s saving grace and deserves to be on a better carrier than Sprint.

Also in the works is a new version of the Blackberry Storm. Perhaps a head-to-head release? Oooh Fight!

The official Skype app will be in the Apple App Store Tomorrow, March 31st, and Blackberry users can expect to see one around May of this year.

The iPhone’s Skype feature set includes free Skype to Skype calls, SkypeOut support, a pretty interface that is keeping with the iPhone interface, and instant messaging. You can also take a picture from within the app, and accept conference calls. The app will also work on 2G iPod Touches that have the external mic.

Caveats are: only being able to use on a wi-fi connection, as there is a ban on any VoIP on a 3G network, no text messaging, file transfer, or access to your Skype voicemails.

I’ve been using the Fring app for a while now, and it’s a great multi-protocol client that supports talk, chat, and Skype already….jus sayin.
