Skype coming to the DSi?

Although the DSi managed to sell a remarkable 300,000 consoles in its first week of release in America, for those with a DS already, there’s little to recommend it. The camera will afford some nice Pictochat opportunities, and the ability to download DSiWare games is a nice little perk, but for those intimately familiar with the differences between systems, it’s a small update, easily overlooked but for a killer app that exclusively takes advantage of the DSi’s new functions.

Skype has come far enough that it runs on almost everything. Or at least its VoIP functions do. The real question is: can Skype bring video chat to the DSi? That function — truly handheld video chat — is what would truly make Skype the DSi’s killer app. But is the DSi beefy enough to handle it?
