Skype on Apple TV

Good news for those of you who want to purchase an Apple TV but are concerned it doesn't do enough -- like say make VoIP calls. Engadget reports this morning that hacker Brandon Holland will soon have have a plugin that enables the box from Cupertino to use Skype via the Internet telephony software company's API.

I would imagine there will be strong "cult" interest in Skype-enabled Apple TV boxes.

This of course leads us to the next obvious question... When will iPhones be able to natively use VoIP to connect to Apple TV boxes?
