With much fan fair, at midnight last night Skype came to the iPhone and iPod touch. Unfortunately it looks like the initial app might be a bit buggy.
Currently there are 1376 reviews for the App on iTunes, and 416 of those are 1 star reviews. That’s a pretty good chunk of people having trouble. In contrast, there are 647 5 star reviews.
So it’s working fantastically well for the people that aren’t having crashing issues.
Point being – if you are having crashing problems, you’re not alone. I can’t give it a fair test on my iPhone right now, so I’m not sure how it is functioning first hand.
Hopefully Skype will get proactive on the bugs, and we’ll get a (mostly) flawless app soon.

Plus no sms so not much good to me here in Australia 🙁
If your iDevice is jailbroken you’ll need an update through Cydia to mobilesubstrate for Skype to work properly.
Apple Gazette has gone to the dogs!
I will try it and comment back.
fan fair = fanfare. ; )
Plus Skype is working well for me. My university blocks VOIP on their wifi networks, so no dice at school, but back at my apartment, it works like a charm. Helps save minutes when my family wants to call and talk for an hour at a time.
