As expected the official Skype app is now out Free on the App Store. However since the app cannot run on background on the iPhone you will have to keep the app launched (not practical) to make full use of it! Also VOIP over 3G is not available and WiFi needs to be used.
Initial review suggests that the app works perfect and is a success… (Also reported that the Skype app worked for people using the iPhone 3.0 beta OS)
Skype is free calls and instant messages. And you can call landlines and mobiles anywhere in the world at great rates. Skype is free to download and easy to use.
* Free Skype-to-Skype calls
With Skype on your iPhone or iPod touch, simply sign into Skype from any WiFi zone, and call friends and family on Skype totally free.
* See who’s online and instant message them
Sign into Skype via 3G, Edge, GPRS or WiFi and check who’s online – then instant message them whenever and wherever the mood strikes.
Please note: Skype is not responsible for errors or crashes which result from changes to the underlying iPhone OS.
