iPad sounds like the name of a feminine product

There's something ironic about Skype on an ipad considering Microsoft owns it.

I like that video! its the first time that I have seen a MS and a Mac product on the same stage that didn't involve some kind of bashing, plus it shows off some really neat potential of mobile video chat

It's not like MS Office has been on Macs for the last 20 years...

If they don't take it down again, I can use Skype on an iPad Wi-Fi via a iPod 3G (if it allows tethering), to call an iPhone!

If they were going to re-release it again, then why did they even pull it in the first place. Stupid.

Wow! It's so much easier to show self satisfaction now and internet porn! pfu!

As stated in the article 6 inches above, it was an "accidental launch" (meaning a pre-release version, etc.). It was pulled and the correct version was released. How can this not be easily understood. Stupid.

Well done, only 2 years late with that joke

So Skype for iPad works over 3G but Apples own Facetime only works over WiFi

Sounds like Facetime needs an upgrade.

Skype has a chance to grow a lot with platform independent video call. M$ knows cash when they see it
