Skype Comes to the iPhone & iPod Touch

Skype is Here!

Finally. Although it took an unexpected great length of time, Skype is here. And it is available for both the iPhone and iPod Touch. The interface is crisp and simple. It allows for calls and chat.

But there is a small catch.

Although Skype to Skype is still free, there is one tiny issue: Calls on Skype for iPhone work only if your in range of a Wi-Fi Network. So your call quality will depend on the wireless networks nearby. Calls will not work over the cell phone network on the iPhone, while chatting will.

Of course, iPod Touch users will need a mic and speaker if they don’t already have one.
