Voice over IP app is welcome addition to the iPhone, iPod touch

by John Brandon, Macworld.com

At long last, the iPhone and iPod touch have a Skype client all their own. This is a momentous turn of events, particular for iPhone users who haven’t opted for AT&T’s unlimited voice plan and want to save their precious minutes. iPod touch users will, of course, welcome the chance to add any sort of calling capability to their mobile device.

Macworld user reviews IN DETAIL:

"iPhone" in the house

I am a new user of ipod touch 3G (32G). One major reason I bought it is the fact that it comes with Apple headset with mic, as I heard it works great with the Skype App on it. I am glad all good things I heard about it were right. If you use Skype on your computer (mac or pc), and you have an ipod touch 2G or 3G, this app is a must-have (of course for ipod touch you need to purchase the Apple headset with mic separately and have the latest firmware). The voice quality is as good as it is on the computer, but this is much more convenient as you are no longer tied to the computer anymore.

Great App for an exelent service

I do lots of international calling and Skype has become one of my favorite services. This app just made it that much better, the call quality is good especially compared with other similar services and it is an easy and convenient way to keep in touch. If you have a Skype account, this is a must have!
