Chad just Skyped me over 3G to tell me Skype has finally (finally!) released Skype 2.0 for iPhone with support for VoIP calling over 3G cell phone networks.
We'll spare you the long drawn out AT&T, Apple, Skype drama and the out-loud wondering about why it took so long. We'll also skip the reminder about how, with iPhone OS 4, you'll be able to leave it running in the background. We figure you've already tapped through and are busily installing the app.
When you're done and have tried it out, come back and let us know what you think about the experience and call quality.
UPDATE 1: Sigh. Skype-to-Skype over 3G won't be free like traditional Skype-to-Skype over Wi-Fi calls:
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).
UPDATE 2: Launching Skype 2.0 on iPhone OS 4 will result in a warning that it only works on "unmodified iPhone OS 3.0.x, 3.1.x, 3.2.x". Sorry developers on iPhone OS 4, no Skype 2.0 for you!
