I have a horrible delay and jerky pictures between my computer and the other ends computer (both intel computers) I have the latest download of skype and don't know what else I can do. others I have talked with are having the same problem. If this is all skype can do, who needs it.
Call quality varies
The call quality varies significantly. When good, the clarity beats the phone's ATT call quality hands down. But too often the person on the other end complains of not being able to understand me. Have had a more consistently positive experience with the desktop app. GTalk on the desktop provides an excellent and more consistent call quality for me. My two networks are 25 megs and 15 megs. Also, I find the font size for IM's too small. And, there is no way to change this. Do like how incoming messages are sent to any Skype instance that is running. So I can transition from my Mac to my iPhone mid-conversation. Haven't found a good GTalk voice app for the iPhone, so will use the Yahoo! Instant Messenger app for now.
VOIP is the future
I use this because I don't get a reliable AT&T signal inside my apartment. The sound quality is great, though I sometimes notice a bit of lag. Otherwise this works well and actually makes my iPhone usable inside. Skype service isn't free, but less expensive than the 3G Microcell.
Multitasking not so good
Although it is not the fault of Skype, multitasking only keeps the app available in that background for a very short time. Running other apps after Skype seems to kill the Skype process, therefore you can not always rely on it to receive calls in the background. This is quite a disappointment after Apple virtually sold us on background Skype at a recent keynote. I obviously overestimated how well that promise would be delivered. The temptation to switch to Yahoo is even stronger now that Yahoo has enabled video calling between iPhones and computers... however the Yahoo Messenger experience compares miserably to Skype on both iPhone and PC/Mac. My fingers are crossed that Skype will bring video to iPhone very soon. Despite the multitasking and video shortcomings, I love this app and appreciate the very Apple-like look and feel. It takes pride of place on my opening home-screen.
Excellent!
Skype makes things so much easier! On Wifi making calls is free and especially if you have family internationally. It's a must have application for the phone!
I like it!
It is like having a phone in my iPad.
Excelente
Excelente app.
"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!
