It’s not supposed to be out until next week but an improved Skype for iPhone has launched early. I can’t see it yet in either my US or UK App Stores but some users in America are finding it waiting for them.

Whenever it lands, it will still be free and comes with definite speed improvements plus a debatable improvement to its visual design. It’s going to look more like Windows Phone.

Take a look for it now as this is the right link, it’s just not clear yet when it will have updated to the new version.

The iPad version of Skype is to get a similar redesign but there’s no word when yet.
