The Skype application will indicate unviewed chats or messages.
3Boot the App
Skype for iPhone generally took less than 5 seconds to boot on my Gen 1 iPhone.
4Login
Skype prompts for credentials the first time you log in from the iPhone. The application will remember the login and password for future use.
5Dialing
Users can place Skype-to-Skype or SkypeOut calls from the iPhone application. I could dial direct, or use either the iPhone contact list or the Skype contact roster.
6SkypeOut
Unlike the Fring application for iPhone, which can place only Skype-to-Skype calls, Skype for iPhone also works with SkypeOut to the PSTN.
7Call Limitations
Although users can leverage Skype for presence, chat or profile editing over Wi-Fi, 3G or EDGE, voice calls can be placed only when connected via Wi-Fi.
8Edit Profile 1
When viewing profile information, users can change the profile picture with an existing photo. They can also take a new photo with the iPhone camera.
9Edit Profile 2
Users can move or scale new photos via the touch-screen before saving the profile.
10Presence
Users can easily alter presence status from the application.
11Chat
It’s a snap to start a chat using Skype contacts. Previous chats are automatically archived for future reference.
