• Receive video only on iPad 1st Generation and iPod touch 3rd Generation
Skype for iPad is a free download [

Update: Skype says the app was released prematurely, so they've pulled it.
Update 2: As noticed by Macerkopf.de, Skype for iPad has returned to the App Store. Skype has yet to issue an official announcement about the release, however, so it is unclear if this is the official launch or if it is once again being made available prematurely.
