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.

   Hi friend,

   I tried jb my Ipodtouch 2g last night but it did not work. I was at Step 14. after clicking Next, and open up the Itunes, I did not see the ipos did not appear. I tried many time but it was the same.

   Could you help tell me if it really works! Thanks

   What could be a good microphone for the iPod Touch 2G? I’ve searched and found the Macally Voice Recorder but I’m open to new suggestions…

   @ Mzanthrop:
   How about the SwitchEasy Thumbtack? (just google it)
   I really like it because it’s really small.
