So here’s the thing: Skype launched its free iPhone app today in every single iTunes store except Canada.

So what if you live in Canada and want Skype? No problem. Here’s what to do:

  1. Sign up for a US iTunes account using these instructions (no credit card required)
  2. Log out of your Canadian iTunes account, and into your new US iTunes account (instructions)
  3. Sync your iPhone
  4. Download and install Skype from the App Store app on the iPhone

That’s it. Enjoy!

This way to freedom

I like the underlying tension of my new iPhone wallpaper. Steve Jobs’s smooth, shiny slider beckons me to head right, to unlock the phone and start fiddling around on the internet. But at the same time, crudely painted Bain Avenue graffiti suggests I should put the phone back in my pocket and continue to live in the real world.
