Skype pulls iPad app hours after launch

(1/3) > >>

Simon:
Skype has pulled its long-awaiting iPad app just hours after launching the service.

Apple's tablet users have been waiting to be able to use the video and voice services on the iPad, and the app initially worked using both 3G and Wi-Fi connections.

Hours after launch Skype pulled the app, claiming it had been made available prematurely, although it gave no details of what was wrong with the service as offered.

“To ensure your best Skype experience, we've temporarily removed Skype for iPad which went live prematurely,” the company said on its Twitter feed.

Yes, bit odd.  :dunno:

Rik:
Sounds like they misjudged demand.

Simon:
Like the Skyfire browser app, perhaps?
