Did Skype find a critical bug in the iPad version? Are they waiting to launch the app alongside something else? All of this just brings up tons of questions. Regrettably, this provides no insight and only looks to frustrate fans at this point. We know you've been eagerly awaiting Skype for iPad and apologize for the inconvenience. Another tweet appeared shortly after, this one forgiving anxious Skype users about the abrupt availability. To ensure your best Skype experience, we've temporarily removed Skype for iPad which went live prematurely today. So, what happened? About six hours ago, Skype admitted in a tweet the app has been temporarily pulled from the iTunes Store virtual shelves. However, most of us were unable to verify this great news.Īfter some research and a few reader tips, we have been able to confirm the launch did occur, and iPad owners were able to successfully acquire the app for a brief period of time. This all began several hours ago with some Skype fans proclaiming the iPad version was able to be downloaded in the New Zealand and Australia App Stores. Unfortunately, you will no longer find it there. During the mid to late hours of Monday, Skype for iPad finally made it into the App Store. Many have been anticipating a native iPad version of the Skype iOS app for some time, especially since the release of the iPad 2.
Plus, with the iPad, you can also talk to users on Android and Windows devices.Update: For anyone who hasn't noticed, it's back in the App Store.
I’d say video quality was at least comparable to what you can get with FaceTime. Over both Wi-Fi and 3G, video and voice calling worked well on the iPad when I tested it by calling my desktop installation of Skype on an iMac. But overall, the product is ready for active use, especially when it comes to core features like voice and video calling. I noticed some slightly buggy behavior, like pop-up menus that don’t rotate when the app does. Skype might have had an issue with the timing of the release, or it might have just wanted to make sure it was completely polished before it hit the streets. But don’t expect to find it there now Skype pulled the app temporarily, saying it “went live prematurely.” We managed to grab the app before it disappeared (and it’s still available on some international stores), so here’s a look at what you can expect from it when it returns. Late Monday night, Skype for iPad finally arrived in the App Store, after weeks of waiting. App Store, so if you like the looks of what you see below, go ahead and check it out for yourself. Update: The Skype iPad app is now available once again in the U.S.
