Skype now available for Apple iPhone/touch

By My status Howard Wolinsky on March 27, 2009 in .

Skype and Apple joined together Tuesday, making Skype for iPhone available for free downloads onto your iPhone or touch at the Apple Store.

iPhone and touch users will have Skype at their fingertips in WiFi zones, a user interface integrating your Address Book and low-cost or free calling around the world.


Kurt Thywissen, lead engineer on the Skype for iPhone project, explains all in the video above.

Skype for iPhone delivers a true Skype experience: make free Skype-to-Skype calls and low cost calls to landlines and mobile phones - and participate in conference calls - from any WiFi zone. You can IM to your heart's content, and participate in group chats too, whenever you have network connectivity, whether it's WiFi, 3G, EDGE or GPRS.


Skype for iPhone also integrates with the Camera Roll and your photo albums so you can select your favorite profile picture.


Development of Skype for iPhone continues so your thoughts and ideas can help improve it. Leave a comment below, or head to the iPhone area of the Skype Community to let Skype know what you think.
