As of yesterday (March 31st), iPhone users will see that Skype is now available for download through AppStore, as it was said it would be a week before (just search for “Skype” and you can’t miss it). The software is free and available to use everywhere.
One of the letdowns of the product is that you need to have WiFi (wireless network) connection to be able to call local numbers. Voice delivery over EDGE is not permitted (or maybe not possible? I don’t have a clear idea yet.).
Don’t forget that you can call other users over the wireless network for free. The features that were available in the desktop version are also available in the iPhone app too.
So, the other details and user experience for Skype for iPhone application are as follows:
- When you enter your username and password and successfully login they will not be asked again.
- Sound quality: Sound quality is way better than a normal phone if you call another Skype user. However, if you call a local number instead, the sound quality will be the same as of a phone’s.
- You can write and send messages through EDGE but can’t make any calls. That is to say you can login to the system to see and message with people who are online but it gives you a warning message when you want to make a call.
- The application doesn’t work on the background. In order for you to get a Skype call, you need to leave the application on at all times. The screensaver being on doesn’t provide an obstacle; you can still get your calls and messages.
My opinion: Is a must for all iPhone users to have it on their phones.

I have Windows Mobile 6.5 based PDA and had installed Fringe, which includes many messaging services like MSN, Yahoo, Skype, GTalk as well as other Web 2.0 services like Twitter. But the thing is, I can get other side's voice well, but my voice is not have same quality. It is being cut again and again and I do not have an opportunity to talk with others through WiFi. Soon, I will test this iphone app and see if it has the same problem.
