Skype probably not coming to DSi after all

There was some speculation yesterday about Skype on DSi after a Skype rep told TechRadar: "Whilst we can't comment on any future plans to bring Skype to Nintendo's DSi, it would technically be possible."

The words ‘technically possible’ are, in the scrimmage of the blogosphere, a kind of shorthand for ‘entirely inevitable’, and the so the sun set yesterday on a UK population moderately confident that it would one day be making calls via DSi.

It woke up this morning to less optimistic news. A Nintendo spokeperson has told CVG, "[w]e have no plans to release a Skype application for Nintendo DS or DSi."

However, just as ‘technically possible’ doesn’t constitutes confirmation, ‘no plans’ doesn’t constitute disconfirmation. VOIP on DSi could still happen. Skype just may not be the facilitator.

Or it may.
