Skype has updated their iPhone application to v1.2; however, the update does not include push notifications.
What's New in This Version: - Set up call forwarding from your iPhone – forward Skype calls to a phone number when you're not signed in. - Improved performance and better audio quality on Skype-to-Skype calls. - Even easier to send text messages (SMS) - Send SMS from the Call tab. - Calls are connected much faster. - Status of your contacts is updated more often. - You can now decide whether you want to stay online/offline when the iPhone is locked. We've added this into settings. - Contact groups are now supported, making it easier to see who is online and separate your saved phone numbers. - You can now edit the name of your saved phone numbers. - Added support for skype: URL schemes in Safari. - When creating a new account the country in your Skype profile is taken from the language used on your iPhone. - Group chat profile pictures are now shown. - You can now remove your profile picture. - Added a 'Help' link to 'Forgot your password'. - Improved support for proxy configurations.
You can download the update from the App Store now...

It doesn't work on jb iPhone 3gs. Any solution? Tried to uninstall & reinstall but with no luck. The app can't be started. Everytime I started, it returned to home page

Since I turned off Push notifications on my MobileMe apps, my battery life doubled if not tripled. Until Apple comes out with a battery that is at least three times more powerful, I will won't worry about Push.
The noted improvements sound great.
