VoIP provider Skype has finally launched an app for the iPad, after months of lobbying and speculation that the company was working on a program native for the device.
The app, which allows voice and video calls, will allow users to connect across computers and television sets that contain the Skype software.
“This is Skype built especially for the iPad. Call, video call, or instant message anyone on Skype. Plus, if you add a little Skype Credit, call landlines and mobiles at really low rates,” the company said in a statement.
Users are also able to send instant message during video calls, and can access calls over both 3G and WiFi connections.
