Congratulations! It's well deserved for the large amount of work that likely went into the iPhone applications development - and it shows. I was highly anticipating a Skype iPhone application, and you guys did not disappoint. What's next? Skype Video Dongle (forward facing camera) coming soon?

Any news on a version for the Canadian App Store? What's the deal? Sri Lanka and no Canada?
