Skype app gone?

For a lot of people Skype was one of the much awaited app for the iPhone in 2009, but for some reason today the app has disappeared from the App Store.

News from around the net is that the app is gone from US, UK and other international store for reasons that are not known.

So say that the Apple may have fallen out with Skype, others say that’s it because Skype are getting ready to release a new version of the popular app, or is it because that carriers are getting annoyed with the amount of data is being used over their networks by jailbrakers using apps such as 3G Unrestrictor to break the WIFI only ties.

To say that Skype have pulled the app to release a new version sounds strange as this is not how it generally works but I guess that we just wont know till Skype or Apple release something.

UPDATE** Skype posted an update on twitter in the last few hours stating this;

We’ve identified the fault which meant that Skype for iPhone was unavailable for some people – should be back to normal in a few hours
