Skype for iPhone/iPod Touch has finally arrived

So much has been said about Skype for iPhone. Everyone were anticipating the release and finally I read on BBC that it will be available for download from iTunes App Store today. Yes, today. I downloaded and installed it on my iPod Touch this morning. Later this evening after I got home from work, I installed Skype on my friend’s iPod Touch and noticed that there are already over 300 reviews on the application. When I downloaded Skype this morning, no one had left a review but this evening there’s over 300 reviews. It would be interesting to see the stats, if it is available to find out how many people have downloaded Skype since its release.

The next thing to do now that I have installed Skype is to find a microphone for my iPod Touch. Unlike iPhone, iPod Touch does not have a built-in microphone. The microphone that I would like to get is called TouchMic Handsfree Lapel Microphone & Adapter. The microphone is compatible with iPod Touch 2nd Gen and works with Skype application. It is small and neat and has a lapel which you can clip to your t-shirt or shirt.

What is even more awesome is you can use the TouchMic Handsfree Lapel Microphone with Voxie Recorder to record audio messages. Voxie Pro Recorder is available for download from the iTunes App Store for £1.19
