Another Skype update, another day with no 3G calls

Way back in October of 2009 AT&T announced they were removing the restriction of voice over IP apps using the 3G network:

AT&T* today announced it has taken the steps necessary so that Apple can enable VoIP applications on iPhone to run on AT&T’s wireless network. Previously, VoIP applications on iPhone were enabled for Wi-Fi connectivity. For some time, AT&T has offered a variety of other wireless devices that enable VoIP applications on 3G, 2G and Wi-Fi networks. AT&T this afternoon informed Apple Inc. and the FCC of its decision.

Skype then recognized this change and said they were going to work on getting it into a future version.

Well Skype version 1.3 was just released and I gave it a test…3G calling is still a no go.  C’mon Skype, What’s the hold up?!?
