Sweet mercy! Is this the soul of the new machine? A breathless post on 9to5mac points out that it is generally possible to run Skype on AT&T’s 3G network. Their question: “IS THIS THE END OF THE VOICE CARRIERS?”

I’ve been trying to download the flipping thing all morning so I can’t quite report on the accuracy of these claims but I suspect this is user/programmer error more than THE DEATH OF ALL CARRIERS EVERYWHERE!

Note: this appears to only work under the 3.0 firmware, which means it’s definitely an oversight. Don’t get too excited.
