Yesterday, I mentioned that it is possible to run your home business from anywhere with the help of a PDA. Now your smart phone is about to get, well, smarter. Skype has announced that it will be providing applications for iPhone and for BlackBerry. This will allow callers to use a wi-fi network to place VoIP calls. This could be helpful for those making international calls — or for those who are approaching the limit on their minutes.

Personally, I find Skype exceptionally helpful for my home business: I can make international phone calls at a mere fraction of what I am charged by the landline or my wireless carrier. I love Skype, and this move makes the service even more lovable. The release of the iPhone app is imminent, while it will be May before Skype is available on BlackBerry.
