Something interesting happen a couple of hours ago on the iTunes App Store. Some folks noticed that Skype for iPad was released on the App Store, particularly on the New Zealand app store. Those who have access to the said App Store was quick to grab the app from the App Store and started posting screenshots. Less than an hour after the New Zealand releases, Skype for iPad went live on the U.S. App Store as well. Naturally, those who were still awake managed to grab the app and posted screenshots on their respective blogs as well.

A couple of minutes later, the unexpected happeneds. Skype pulled out their app from the App Store and posted a tweet using the official Skype Twitter account, apologizing for pull out of the Skype for iPad app. Skype’s reasons? The said app was “prematurely released.” And since Skype wants to give its users the best Skype experience, they had to pull out the app because it was not ready for public consumption well.

Right now, the app is nowhere to be found on the App Store. Fortunately for me, I managed to take a glimpse of the app’s description. And from what I can remember, Skype for iPad will have almost the same features as its iPhone counterpart. Specifically, the app will allow video calls through Wi-Fi and 3G. Video quality was said to be at CD-quality.

And that’s all I can remember from the app’s description. Skype did not announce when the app will be ready. Hopefully, it will be soon especially since those who managed to use the app for a moment said that it was good.
