If you want an iPhone, but don’t want to get locked into a contract, Apple has started selling unlocked iPhone 4s. The phone will work on any GSM carrier worldwide and will allow you to switch providers at any time. The 16GB version will put you back $649. In other news, Google recently announced a slew of improvements to its search engine that will roll out in the near future. Voice activated search in 27 languages will become available for anyone using the Chrome desktop browser. Google will also soon let you search by uploading an image. And finally, Comcast has struck a deal with Skype that will bring the voice service to every Comcast HDTV. Assuming the TV has a webcam installed, customers can make video calls to any other Skype user while flipping the channels. A launch date has yet to be announced.
