Free Skype iPhone/iPod Touch App Available Tomorrow Skype on iPhone

Whilst not a major revelation - speculation concerning Skype coming to
the iPhone has been rife for some considerable time - at last we have
official confirmation not only that a Skype iPhone/iPod Touch App is to
be made available but that it will be available to download tomorrow
(31/03/09) and, best of all, it'll be free.

Admittedly, iPhone apps bringing Skype functionality to the iPhone/iPod
Touch have long since been available but these have been strictly
unofficial affairs and user feedback has been very much mixed. An
official Skype iPhone/iPod Touch app has, therefore, been something that
Skype users who own iPhones and/or iPod Touch devices have been crying
out for and it'll at last be a reality as of tomorrow (not that Skype
have taken their time in responding to intense user interest or anything).

The new Skype iPhone/iPod Touch App - which offers messaging, video and
full conference calling functionalities- serves to utilise each
respective devices Wi-Fi connectivity rather than relying on EDGE or 3G
connectivity for data transfer, which opens up the application for touch
users who will, unlike iPhone owners, obviously need a set of headphones
with embedded microphone (or just a separate mic) in order to use the
application.

The free Skype iPhone/iPod Touch App should hit Apple's App Store tomorrow.
