Skype is coming to the iPhone, perhaps as soon as next week.

Everyone's favorite P2P voice and IM client, which has already been downloaded more than 405 million times, is getting set to release an iPhone version of its uber-popular service that could revolutionize VOIP mobile calls.

Skype, which recently became the world's largest long-distance phone company, could make the announcement at the CTIA Wireless event in Las Vegas next Wednesday. 

But wait! If this makes it to the iPod Touch, wouldn't that make it into a cheaper Skype-driven VOIP pseudo-iPhone?

Think on that for a minute — then get ready to start making some free calls.

That is good news, meaning it may come to Japanese Cell Phone then as well. 

I use Skype a lot, since WIFI is readily available through Japan, at least most of Japan that is.
