Skype is to acquire mobile group messaging service provider GroupMe, which provides a range of services that enable mobile phone users to connect and share locations and photos with friends across networks and mobile platforms.

Skype subsidiary Qik has updated its iPhone and Android apps to allow cross-platform video chat.

Qik, the company that lets you stream live video from your mobile phone, is being acquired by Skype, with Skype looking forward to using Qik's technologies to add recording, sharing and storing of video, along with Qik's optimised technology to send video over wireless networks.

The number of iPhone apps keeps on growing, and while they grow for the Android platform too, Justin-tv service is now available for the iPhone, joining Qik, uStream, Livestream, and Knocking Live video for true visual nirvana.
