Pre 3 screenshot shows webOS Skype integration

Since the Pre 3 came into the picture, we have been wondering how the Skype integration will work well, now we have a good idea thanks to some leaked HP Pre 3 screenshots. They give us a little information about the upcoming software partnership, and while its in another language, we still get a pretty straightforward gist of the features it will enable.

First off, this service is for the new webOSthat will be launching alongside the new Palm Pre 3, now handled by HP. Skype will work similar to the app we currently have on Android devices. It will allow you to either have a pop-up every time you want to make a call to ask if you would like your normal phone company to handle it, or leave it to Skype to connect the call for you. If having to choose every time you make a call gets annoying, you will also have the option to make Skype only handle those expensive intentional calls and the rest will be left to your service provider.

Now here is where the annoying bit comes in: this software will have the ability to make Skype video calls, something the Android counterpart does not do, and it will be able to do this with the first version that will ship with the phone. This feature is very big because Android users have been waiting for it to happen for ages now, and so webOS will have at least one thing it can hold over current Android phones. Another important thing to note about this is the ability to make both video and voice call over 3G as well as Wi-Fi for certain companies.
