Finally, the developers have released a long-awaited version of Skype for the iPad. After so many expectations is naturally of interest to the application has been enormous. Oil poured into the fire itself Skype company is premature to put the application in the App Store and withdraw it later.
However, soon in the App Store appeared again and immediately took first place in the section Top Free.
Skype interface adapted for the iPad, and will be familiar to users of the Windows, and Mac OS X. The main part of the screen takes a list of contacts. Sort contacts by using the so-called tags.
When it is to create their own label or a group of contacts can not. The main groups are the representations in the application: contacts on the network, all the contacts, the contacts on the iPad and the stored items. Purpose Skype label remained a mystery.
Contacts on the iPad presents the entries in your address book. In principle, you can call to any caller from your contacts or send him an SMS-message. Please note that this is a paid service.

In general, you open the program leaves a pleasant impression. But there are a few things to be aware of!
The transition from contact to contact, and "disclosure" profile card comes on the fly within the selected tag / group, but the choice of the most Group contacts application thinks for a few seconds (I have a delay of 2-3 seconds) and then the user gets into the selected group.
Another nuance is interesting emoticons active users and especially their own emoticons, designed to Skype (like the dancing men and others). Insert emoticons in the application only in text form, and if the image of joy or sorrow known have probably all, here is the acronym of the same dancing men likely can write only elected.
