Last August Skype for iOS brought HD video calls to the iPhone 5 and iPad 4.

Also, with a monthly Skype subscription, users can make unlimited calls to landlines and mobiles in the USA and Canada for $2.99 per month. This is handy when you’re traveling in the USA or worldwide (or don’t have a Canadian long distance plan) and have a Wi-Fi or data connection to call home.
