Why has it taken soooooo long for this?
The two apps I would like to see on the iPhone are Skype and Slingbox.. both of these apps have been talked, and talked, and talked, about... and demoed at every trade show...
I don't undstrand what the big hold up is. If it's true, I will be happy to see it on Tuesday and I hope it is worth the wait!

No skype-in I believe but at least they offer skype-out. No support for voice-mail? Strange...
Still, looking forward to test it.

Just got it from Japan app store. call quality is pretty good. Way better than fring. Sign in immediate! Also, it seems that fring doesn't work with the secured wi-fi at my workplace. Now skype does work, though it has already crashed five times now. Maybe just me. Will wait and see if others have similar problem.
Also the italian newspaper La Repubblica says tomorrow. And have a screenshot.

Skype over WiFi Phone
Has anyone ever tried Skype over one of common (ie Netgear, Belkin, etc) WiFi phones that are marketing as compatible with the Skype service?
We are looking to cancel our landline but want the convenience of a wireless phone. Cell service is poor at our office so we need some lines out besides cellular.
Any comments based in actual experience welcomed please!!

Bluetooth
Anyone able to test it out and yet, and report whether or not Skype calls work over Bluetooth?
Thanks!

actually iPhone 3g support quite nothing via bluetooth, I would be really surprised of this.
got the app from italian store, and it's really nice, works well, test call on wifi have really good audio, and chat on 3g is quite instant, a bit more laggy but still working on edge.
yep, mines isnt even booting up, tried installing it twice, keeps crashing...
turned my phone off twice and no joy....
Mine still crashing... wait till I can download from US app store, see if that makes difference...

Clippy was causing the app to crash for me. Uninstalled Clippy and Skype worked without fail (at least for the test call....no contacts online).
credit to user bed for the suggestion.
Jailbroken phones works now!!!
Here is the link for how to fix the crashing problem...
