Yesterday Skype released an iPhone app. I’ve been using it today and find it to be stable, easy to use and fast.
I mostly use Skype for video but the iPhone app could persuade me to use it more and if they offer push notification on the new 3.0 operating system they might even get me to buy a Skype in number.
From my limited call experience with it (3 – 4 2 minutes calls) the audio quality is good, not quite the same as cellular calls on the device.
It only works on WI-FI but for me that isn’t an object as I spend most of my time around the stuff.
The app also allow you to text chat with your contacts, I didn’t try this as I rarely use the text tools on the desktop app, I use Skype for a few international calls and mostly video chat.
Would I recommend it, yes if you use Skype it is a nice thing to have for when your computer is off and it’s free so why not download it and keep it.
