New Skype for iPhone and calling over 3G Updates

Skype announced that the version of Skype for iPhone which supports 3G calling will be available very soon as the new version of iphone OS 3.2, cut off the limitations on calling over 3G.

You may have seen other apps offering calls over 3G, but we’re holding ours back for a little bit longer. Why? So that we can give you the very best audio quality we can. When our 3G-capable Skype for iPhone app is released, it’ll let you make calls in wideband audio, giving you greater clarity and fidelity – because that’s what you expect from Skype.

The Company (Skype) is also developing a Skype version for the iPad. Although very good news, the restriction on Apple's part not to allow third party applications multitasking means that you can only receive Skype calls when the application is open, so you still can not be used as a complete replacement of your carrier.
