The long anticipated Skype for iPod touch and iPhone is now available in the App Store where you can download it for free. For iPod Touch users, a headset with an embedded microphone is required to make voice calls. With the Skype app, users can make FREE calls by using Wi-Fi to other Skype users and they can even make reduced price calls to traditional landline phones.
The Skype for iPhone looks great with phone numbers is used directly from your phone's address book and the existence of teleconference. One drawback that might disappoint users is that calls over cellular networks is not possible (only via Wi-Fi). Apparently this limitation was designed in such a way to compensate for the iPhone EDGE and the iPod Touch.
Yeah we know Skype for iPhone is short on some of the features its desktop counterpart has but taking into account this application is actually new and young, we could expect features such as SMS, file transfer, and voicemail making their ways in future versions.
