Skype finally headed to iPad 2

Skype has confirmed that it is imminently preparing an app for the popular Apple iPad 2 tablet.
Earlier today, a leaked video showed off the app and the VoIP company confirmed its validity later in the day.

It is unclear how long the app will take to get approved by Apple for the App Store but Skype seems to believe that approval is coming very soon.

Using the Skype for iPad app will give users a chance to make audio and video calls, as well as chat via IM, even while in a call.

You can use either of the iPad's two cameras and even make calls to mobile phones and landlines.

It is unclear, however, whether group chat will be available from launch.
