In addition to having no one online to make that first call, I see that you need to be connected to a wireless network. "Skype calls over 3g networks are currently not supported due to restrictions that may be placed on your data plan . . . " it says when I tried to make a test call to the Skype Test Call contact. Makes sense when you consider the bandwidth requirements especially if you were ever to do video conferencing with this App. I'm hoping the next iPhone will have a video cam to make full use of Skype's capabilities.

Overall, after tapping around a bit, the interface is simple, well done and is consistent with their computer client App. It's a straight forward port of Skype to the typical iPhone App gui. At the bottom, you have Contacts, Chats, Call, History and My info. The Call option presents you with the dialpad familiiar to iPhone users when making a regular call with a handy Skype contact button. The big thing that I can't find in the iPhone App is the conference call feature - will continue to tap around.

More on this App from Skype: http://share.skype.com/sites/en/2009/03/skype_for_iphone_yes_its_here.html

Regardless, VERY COOL addition to my growing stable of iPhone Apps. Now, just waiting for someone to get online to see if this thing actually works!

I am sure that the Skype App for the iPhone will work out just fine and once that is through, it will just be a matter of time before all the features mentioned here ill follow. Seems to be a cool App and it is just a matter of time before you can see everyone using it to talk to their friends and family anywhere in the world!! Can’t wait to avail this facility from Skype!!
