Strangely Skype can no longer be found for download from the App Store.
First noticed by TechCrunch they reached out to Skype about this and were told that they’re currently investigating:
We’re not seeing the Skype app in the App store. We’re very eager to get to the bottom of this, and I can tell you this has nothing to do with our Verizon deal. The Skype for iPhone app and the Skype Mobile app on Verizon Wireless phones have co-existed.
There’s still a page on Skype’s official site that details the app; however, their mobile site oddly omits any mention of it .

It was gone for only about 4 hours, and from what i noticed only from the iphone app store, not when you searched it directly from itunes... Haha, well im guessing they were just doing an update :)

Like geohot, we too have withdrawn from the iPhone. We are still mad that Fring added us to their service for video calls. THAT WAS OUR IDEA!!! (throws tantrum) We have pulled our app from the app store and will sue fring at a later date because it WAS ALL OURS!!! OURS!!!!!!!!!!! (laughs maniacally). On other thoughts, please enjoy our service on Mac/Windows instead, we don't like competition.

No wonder, it's total crap on 4.0 buggy as shit. Also reports itself as incompatible when you start it! Where the hell is the update they promised.
