“Is it true? Can I finally use Skype on my [iPhone|iPod touch]?”
After several months, the answer is finally: yes. The official Skype app for iPhone and iPod touch is now available at the iTunes App Store. That’s the good news…
… But if the comments for the app are to be believed, the bad news is that the new iPhone OS app is fairly unstable, crashing in some cases even before finishing the initial loading.
If you are able to get past the supposed instability, you should be exposed to the typical Skype functionality (including the Skype flavor of IM) over Wi-Fi networks. Unfortunately, you cannot use the cell network to conduct your VoIP calls. Still, this is a great new capability, to be able to add VoIP calls to your iPhone or iPod touch after all this time. Especially for iPod touch owners who happen to have the microphone headphones or external microphone!
