Much talked-about launch has finally happened for iPhone and iPod Touch users.
Skype for iPhone is now available as a free download from the Apple App Store.
The VoIP app also adds Skype calling and instant messaging to any second generation iPod touch with a compatible headset and microphone.
Skype for iPhone requires a Wi-Fi connection to make free Skype-to-Skype calls or Skype calls to mobiles and landlines.
Users will not be charged by Skype for making and receiving Skype-to-Skype calls using an iPhone or iPod touch. Skype’s normal rates apply if using Skype to call landlines or mobiles.
Users can also update their own Skype profile picture from within the app, either by choosing an existing image from a photo album on the device, or by using the camera on the iPhone to take a new photo.
