Skype is coming to the Apple iPad in the near future. A definite date has not been revealed but Skype VP of Consumer and Product Design Rick Osterloh did confirm to TUAW.com that the app has been in testing for a while and nearing public release.
As a leaked video (unfortunately without audio) of the app in action shows, there is nothing really new here. It will offer the usual functionality offered by Skype (although it will not support file sharing like the PC/Mac version).
Microsoft recently announced that it would aquire Skype for US$8.5 billion.
