Running low on rollover minutes?
Never fear, Skype is here.
The popular voice-over-Internet phone service was released as an iPhone and iPod Touch application early Tuesday morning via a free download on iTunes.
Skype for iPhone [iTunes link] won't replace your cell phone plan - calls can only be made over a WiFi connection, not on 3G or EDGE - and there's an extra charge for phoning landlines and other cell phones. Still, calling another Skype user via the application is free - and you can use the app to chat with friends even if there's no WiFi signal available.
The first version of the application does leave off some of the more advanced features, like SMS, file transferring and Skype voicemail.
Skype isn't the first VOIP-enabled application to hit the iTunes store. The competition includes apps like Nimbuzz and Fring, two instant messaging clients that partner with Skype to support calls via WiFi.
