Windows Phone 7 App of the Week: Skype Video Calling Possibly Coming to Windows Phones in the Near Future

Of course, that statement shouldn’t come as a surprise, considering that Skype’s new owners have a bit of a vested interest in bringing that technology to Windows Phones (hint – it’s Microsoft).

This is purely speculative as of right now, but a recent job ad from Skype says they are looking for someone to optimize the Skype Video Engine for Microsoft Windows Phones – so, you know, that’s a pretty good sign. As no official statement has been released, there is no timetable for when this will actually be available to consumers. But, if you’re a Windows Phone owner, it’s something worth keeping your eye on.
