The reports are swirling that Skype has been taken out of the Apple app store. Well I think otherwise.
Here’s what I think:
1) Apple is revising its Terms and Conditions around 3G Voice.
2) Skype is preparing a 3G native application
3) The next version we see in the Apple App Store will be 3G ready for voice
4) Apple will open up the OS to permits Skype and others, like client Truphone to work over 3G
That’s my feeling, but since Skype and Truphone PR folks are enroute to CES, we’ll just have to wait. In the meantime if you need Skype installed on you iPhone or iPod Touch and don’t have it, you can use the Truphone client and your Skype account details.
Then again, it all could just be a check box error in how the app is submitted to the App Store…Oh, yes. Human error.
