Skype 2.0 For IPhone Running on 3G

Skype 2.0 is finally available on iPhone. It works over 3G, something many phone users have been clamoring for. You got to move fast for any Skype action though as there could be a “small monthly fee” for Skype-to-Skype calls after August.

Here’s the full rundown of what’s new:

Upgrades / improvements include:
- Call using your 3G connection. Skype-to-Skype calls on 3G are free until at least end of August 2010, after which there will be a small monthly fee (operator charges for data will still apply).
- Near CD-quality sound for Skype-to-Skype calls using wideband audio (SILK codec) on iPhone 3GS and 2nd generation iPod touch.
- Enhanced call quality indicator.
- Improved start-up time.
- Fast access to the dial pad from iPhone home screen.

For the heavy users, Skype may help you save on the overseas calls. But paying a monthly fee really turn me off. I don’t use Skype frequently and additional charges negate the advantages of downloading the Skype app.
