Skype announced today that it's basically interested in extending its VoIP range of offers and in order to do that it will purchase Qik. Without being confirmed, the deal is said to be worth $100 million but we'll definitely wait for Skype to make it public.

In case Qik seems familiar that's because the service became quite popular on various Android devices as a communication alternative and, specifically, as a video chatting solution for those Android handsets that come with front-facing cameras, like the HTC EVO 4G for example.

Thanks to Qik you can enjoy video calls both on the HTC EVO 4G and the Samsung Epic 4G, two Android smartphones available for Sprint right now. But the company is looking forward to offer you video calls between Android and iOS devices by integrating FaceTime support in the next versions of Qik.

FaceTime is Apple's own video-calling technology currently employed by the iPhone 4 and the fourth-generation iPod touch. But Apple made FaceTime an open source technology, which means we'll see FaceTime support in other smartphones and computers in the near future.
