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 :)

It's still there, if you do a search for it and you look down on the left.
You will see under

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