Skype for iPad has been made available worldwide in the app store.
Skype VP of Consumer and Product Designer Rick Osterloh spoke with TUAW about the new app and what Skype expects to get out of it. Osterloh said that the iPhone version of Skype burst out of the gate quickly, with a big launch and “a userbase that doubled in just a month’s time.” And he said the iPad version should “have a similar success,” especially since it’s basically the same in functionality: chatting, audio and video calling, and all of the other standard actions you can expect from Skype. The current app has been in testing for a few months now, and Osterloh is excited to unleash it on the public.
The iPad version of Skype has the same features as the iPhone version. You can send and receive video using front or back camera on iPhone 4, iPad 2nd Generation, and iPod Touch 4th Generation.
Send and receive video using rear camera of iPhone 3GS .Receive video only on iPad 1st Generation and iPod touch 3rd Generation. Download here http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/skype-for-ipad/id442012681?mt=8&ign-mpt=uo%3D4#
Update: Skype has tweeted that they will be removing Skype for iPad from the iTunes Store for the time being. According to their tweet on Twitter, it apparently went live prematurely.
