We know you've been eagerly awaiting Skype for iPad and apologize for the inconvenience. Another tweet appeared shortly after, this one forgiving anxious Skype users about the abrupt availability. To ensure your best Skype experience, we've temporarily removed Skype for iPad which went live prematurely today.

So, what happened? About six hours ago, Skype admitted in a tweet the app has been temporarily pulled from the iTunes Store virtual shelves. However, most of us were unable to verify this great news.Īfter some research and a few reader tips, we have been able to confirm the launch did occur, and iPad owners were able to successfully acquire the app for a brief period of time. This all began several hours ago with some Skype fans proclaiming the iPad version was able to be downloaded in the New Zealand and Australia App Stores. Unfortunately, you will no longer find it there. During the mid to late hours of Monday, Skype for iPad finally made it into the App Store. Many have been anticipating a native iPad version of the Skype iOS app for some time, especially since the release of the iPad 2. Update: For anyone who hasn't noticed, it's back in the App Store.
